Undergraduate Admissions
GW offers four undergraduate majors in the Milken Institute School of Public Health. Our programs allow you to develop a broad understanding of exercise science, nutrition, health data science, and/or public health while gaining the practical experience needed to launch your career. Undergraduates in the school of public health will develop experience and knowledge to improve health and wellbeing and meaningfully enhance the quality of life among individuals and populations.
- Prospective Students
Students may enter all SPH majors (BS in Exercise Science, BS in Health Data Science, BS in Nutrition, and BS in Public Health) as a first-year student when they apply to GW through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions using the Common Application. Prospective GW students should review the undergraduate admissions page for details about the process.
