Transfer Students

We are ready to make transferring into the Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences a welcoming and tailor-made experience for each student. Our goal is to ensure your time in the department is fulfilling, which begins with the moment you explore transferring into our department. 

Transfer Steps 

  • EXPLORE
    Learn about UW Transfer Admissions & explore the Environmental Public Health Major. Transfer students can declare the major after they are admitted to UW.
  • Prepare
    Students transferring in as juniors (6 quarters/90 credits or more) should complete the major's upper admission prerequisites prior to enrolling at UW.
    • Enroll and complete Upper Division Admission Prerequisites at your current institution.
    • WA State community college students should use the transfer guides and sample plans on this page as planning tools only. For updated courses, consult the UW’s equivalency guide.  
    • A UW Environmental Public Health adviser can guide you through the details of the major and is a wonderful resource to meet with before declaring the major. To schedule an appointment, see the Contact an Adviser page.   
  • Declare the Major
    Once a student has been admitted to UW, they can submit an online application to declare the Environmental Public Health major.
    • Transfer students should apply for entry to Fall quarter, with application windows typically open from June through August.
