2004-05 Undergraduate Catalog
The general track is designed for students who want to work in health care but do not want a career requiring an extensive basic science background.
In order to be ‘on track’ for health science at the junior level, students must meet the critical-tracking criteria listed below each semester of enrollment beginning with the first fall or spring term.
Students must remain on track for each subsequent fall and spring term for a total of four semesters in order to be considered for admission at the junior level. Students also must formally apply to the college for junior admission by submitting a college application packet, which is available online at the college’s Web site. Note: Transfer students also must apply to UF. Off-track UF freshmen and sophomores must speak with a college adviser before registering for the next semester.
