The Health Administration and Policy Program is changing! During summer 2021 the program will see a change of the name of the major to a BA in Public Health. All major requirements and curriculum will remain the same, the primary change will be the name of the major.
The name Public Health will give our students a "bigger umbrella" to have their education and skills recognized. We believe this will increase opportunities for all of our students to be more competitive for internships, jobs, and graduate education during and after their undergraduate career at UMBC.
In addition, students will have their tracks noted on their transcripts to further highlight their credentials. Stay tuned for small changes to the track names.
While some changes may take a few months to become visible, others will start to show up in the next week. We will have more information for current and prospective students in fall 2021. If you have an urgent question you can reach out to me (katie.birger@umbc.edu) or Ms. Sanford (dsanford@umbc.edu).
