Program Description
- Continuing & Professional Studies
The BS in Health Studies serves the needs of students who are interested in a health professions-related program, but who desire maximum flexibility in designing their curriculum. Health Studies majors often have varied backgrounds and future interests that cannot be captured in a singularly-focused health-related degree. The BS in Health Studies will provide students with a solid major core in health studies, including timely topics such as health systems & policy, public health & epidemiology, and social determinants of health. The program enables students to leverage their prior college coursework and to tailor their health studies electives and general electives to personal and professional goals.
