Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences

We are excited about the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences (BSHS), which began in the Fall 2019!

UPDATE: As of Fall 2023, the BS-HS program has moved to the Dean's Office. Contact the Health Proffessions Advising Center for Academic Advising regarding the program.

You Should Consider this Degree If…

• You are interested in working in health services. The Census Bureau estimates job growth in the health services sector will be greater than 20% over the next 10 years. 
• You are considering graduate education in a clinical discipline of health services (pre-professional). The degree allows you the flexibility to select courses for that future clinical or non-clinical journey.
• You are interested in studying health sciences but desire the flexibility not available through specific programs. The entire program is tailored to accommodate health-related topics that are relevant and interesting to you while well-rounded for potential employers.

The program requires completion of 120 semester credit hours including the general education core curriculum (42 hours plus a 1-hour University Seminar course), major hours (34 hours), support (12 hours), electives (14 hours), and a self-selected minor (18 hours).
