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.
