Major in Health Sciences (B.S.)
The Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences program is designed to prepare the student to enter allied
health and other health-related fields. The health sciences program focuses on providing the student with a
strong foundation through general education courses and a science-based curriculum. Students in the major
have the choice of two emphases: pre-physical therapy and rehabilitation services.
Emphasis 1: Pre-Physical Therapy
Students choosing this emphasis are typically interested in pursuing careers in health-related fields that
require a graduate degree for practice. The required course work provides the foundation needed to enter
health-related professional programs.
