Note for Pre-Health Sciences, Undeclared Students:

Incoming students who have not declared a major but are either exploring a science curriculum or actively pursuing specific pre-health educational goals will be assigned to the Pre-Health/Pre-Science program and assessed differential tuition. Certain courses are considered preparatory for pre-health and science curricula. See the differential tuition web page for pre-health goals and a list of preparatory courses. Students without a declared major should be aware that if they register for any of the preparatory courses, they will  be moved to the Pre-Health/Pre-Science program prior to the tenth day of the term and assessed differential tuition.

While a student may begin taking courses in a major at any time, a student must declare a major no later than the completion of 45 semester hours. Transfer students entering with 45 semester hours or more must declare a major by the end of their first term at UIC. To declare a major, the student should meet with the major advisor. Please note: some departments require that students achieve a minimum grade point average in designated courses before admission into the program. Resources to help students facilitate their search are available on the Explore LAS Majors web page.

Students are strongly encouraged to complete equivalent courses in the following UIC categories for admission to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences:

  • Analyzing the Natural World – Complete an additional equivalent course, for a total of two lab courses
  • General Education Electives – Complete two additional courses chosen from any of the following UIC General Education Core categories.
    • Analyzing the Natural World
    • Understanding the Past
    • Exploring World Cultures
    • Understanding the Individual and Society
    • Understanding U.S. Society
    • Understanding the Creative Arts
  • Foreign Language – Complete equivalent foreign language courses to reach proficiency at the Intermediate II level of language study. The intermediate level of proficiency is the equivalent of that expected of the student who has completed four semesters of a single foreign language at the college level.
