3. Students transferring to the BPH degree program are required to take STAT 251G Statistics for Business and the Behavioral Sciences and receive a minimum grade of C.
4. A grade of C or better is required in all courses listed under Technical Requirements. The CHSS and PHLS courses listed here may be applied toward the bachelor's degree program in Public Health at NMSU.
5. PHLS 275 Foundations of Health Education is a prerequisite for this course.
