Hey guys,

I’ve been accepted to JHU already, and have been intending on only majoring in International Studies until recently. I am now very interested in the Public Health Studies major and am thinking of double majoring.

The thing is PHS is arguably largely a science-based major; however, I have dropped all high school science courses. My question is to anyone who knows about PHS well or who has majored in it: what specific science courses are necessary? (I’ve taken up to Grade 11 Bio but have not taken any chemistry or physic courses) And for those science courses I should have taken but didn’t, is there time to catch up/ will i really need to know prior course material?

Thanks!
