The mission of the Health Sciences program is to provide students with interdisciplinary coursework, thoughtfully planned experiences, and personal advising to allow them to explore and prepare them for a career in one of the many areas of health sciences.

Science Core Certificate [17 Credits]


General Emphasis


The General Emphasis includes coursework in health sciences covering cellular through organismal perspectives and permits maximum flexibility for a student with general or undeveloped interests in health sciences through the large professional elective allowance. Careful planning of professional electives is important to ensure a variety of coursework and experiences and to prepare for potential application to specific programs and schools. This emphasis may be planned to support application to a Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Sciences program (see Articulation Agreements list) among others. The General Emphasis may not be combined with another emphasis area in the Pre-Professional Health Sciences major.
