The Health Science program is a Bachelor of Science curriculum that may be pursued on a full-time or part-time basis. Individuals may enter the program as first-year or transfer students. The premedical professions program of study prepares students for professional graduate study in health-related fields, such as physician assistant, pre-pharmacy, occupational or speech therapy, or dentistry. The program may also be pursued as a Bachelor of Science completion degree for healthcare professionals who have attained clinical competency through hospital-based or community college health professions programs.
The upper-level program is open to all certified allied health personnel and to registered nurses (associate or diploma). The degree may qualify these individuals for professional advancement, graduate study, or for advanced certification.
The flexible curriculum allows students the opportunity to study, in addition to the science core courses, advanced areas of science and medicine or to develop skills in managerial operations, educational techniques, computer science technology, or communication.
Admission Requirements
Upper-level program applicants should hold the appropriate professional certification or license, and their academic records should include formal clinical study from an accredited program. (Pre-professional and physical therapy applicants refer to specific admission information.)
Applicants who have completed formal programs of study in allied health or nursing, and hold the appropriate professional certification or license, may be granted up to 60 credits toward the lower-division degree requirements. Thirty credits may be awarded for a one-year, hospital-based, allied health program. Additional credit may be obtained through the University’s LINCS (Learning in Noncredit Settings) program.
