Declaring the Global Health Minor
✅To be admitted to the Global Health minor, students must:
1. 2 Prep Courses must be done with a minimum 2.0 GPA. Grades should be officially posted on DARS. 📝 2. You need an established UCLA GPA and be in good academic standing (minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA). 3. You must be able to finish the minor without going over your Time to Degree limit. ⏳🎓 Minor Exclusive Units Rule: 🔍 You need at least 20 units that belong only to this minor (either lower or upper div) and cannot overlap with major or other minor. 🚫 Outside the College of Letters & Science? 🏫If your major is in a different school (like Engineering or Arts), check with your specific department's protocol first for adding a minor outside their College/School. Wait Time for Being Declared:🗓️ It takes about 3 weeks to process. If you’re a Junior, Senior, or doing a double minor, it might take even longer. Pro-Tip: 💡 Your major comes first. If adding the minor makes your schedule too difficult, talk to an Academic Advisor before you get stuck! 💬
