College of Nursing and Health Science
Health Science, B.S.
The B.S. in health science prepares students to function as managers and clinicians
in a variety of settings such as hospitals, clinics, community health, schools,
home care, long-term care, employee health, managed care organizations, group
medical practices, manufacturing, medical technology and supply organizations,
the health insurance industry, and financial consultant services. Two pathways
are available: health systems management and health care coordination.
The program may be completed on a full- or part-time basis, and special accelerated
pathways for graduates of allied health technical programs take into account the
needs of the adult learner. Interested students should contact the health science
program before admission. All pathways lead to completion of the objectives of
the undergraduate health science program. The major begins at the junior year.
Students must complete a prehealth science curriculum before enrolling in major
courses.
Students must check with their advisors to ensure that all general education
requirements, global understanding (3 credits), and synthesis (3 credits) have
been met prior to graduation.
