A Bachelor of Science in Health Science is meant to provide a bridge between study in the natural sciences and the application of science principles to diverse health-related professions.
The B.S. in Health Science combines study in the natural and health sciences with liberal arts study through the Core Curriculum. The combination of natural and health sciences courses is designed to prepare students who may be interested in graduate studies in physician assistant, nursing, nutrition, medicine or other professional clinical degrees. The health science major offers general elective credits, which a student can use to add a minor, or to further one’s background in the sciences or liberal arts. Recommended minors, based on student interest, may include Exercise Science, Psychology, Chemistry or Biology
