My D applied into the Health Science track as an incoming freshman for 2018. When she logs in, it states this. In talking to people we understand you have to declare an official major after her first sophomore semester. Is this correct? Is it not after her freshman year?
She wants to go into the Applied Physiology and Kinesiology as a pre-PT.
At UF, you have to declare a major after 3 fall/spring semesters, so yes, she’d declare a major after the fall semester of her sophomore year. She can declare her major during Preview, but if she wants to change it for any reason before her first 3 semesters she can, as long as she follows the critical tracking for that major (basically having a good GPA and taking core courses for the major.)
You have to apply to health science after sophomore year. she can declare apk or Pre-health science but she wont officially be a health science major till shes accepted.
