Health Sciences Program Overview

A Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences degree combines a broad spectrum of liberal arts, basic sciences, social sciences and health sciences course requirements and electives for students who desire a generalized health sciences academic credential. In addition, students choose one of five academic concentration areas to obtain greater exposure to a specific health discipline.

These five concentration areas include exercise science, pre-pharmacy, pre-physical therapy, pre-health professional studies, and integrative holistic medicine.
