# Replaces Senior Seminar University Graduation Requirement.

Major GPA based on all Public Health and Health Communication courses taken at EIU. The minimum major GPA required for graduation is 2.50.

A grade of ‘C’ or better is required for all Public Health core courses counting toward Public Health and Health Administration majors. Students in these majors are permitted two attempts to earn a grade of “C” or better in each core Public Health course. After a grade has been recorded in Public Health core courses at EIU, the Department of Public Health and Nutrition will not accept subsequent transfer of an equivalent course from another institution unless the department has given prior written approval to enroll in the specific course at the specific institution. If after a second grade has been recorded for a given core course and the student has not received a grade of ‘C’ or better, the student will not be allowed to continue as a Public Health or Health Administration major and shall consult with their advisor to select a different major.
