The Health Sciences program is for students who wish to enter a non-clinical health career such as medical case management, corporate wellness, human services, medical sales, pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution, and more. Graduates holding the BHS in Health Sciences may also be qualified to enter either graduate or professional health science programs, such as physical therapy or public health.

The BHS in Health Sciences program is ideal for many students interested in the Health Care field such as:

A grade of D- or higher will be accepted for all general education coursework. All required core and elective coursework for the Health Sciences program, including requirements outside the department, must be completed with a grade of C-or higher. If a required course is retaken for credit, the higher grade on the second attempt may be used for calculating GPA.

With the approval of the Deans of the School of Health Professions and Graduate School, seniors who have a B average in the most recent 45 semester hours of credit, and are within 12 hours of completing graduation requirements, may dually enroll for up to six semester hours of graduate credit while enrolled as undergraduates. Application for dual enrollment must be completed and approved by the Graduate School within one month after the start of the fall and spring semesters and within three weeks after the start of the summer session. Additional information may be obtained from the Graduate School.

All students will maintain academic integrity by avoiding:

Academic integrity is fundamental to the activities and principles of a university. All members of the academic community must be confident that each person's work has been responsibly and honorably acquired, developed, and presented. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not the effort is successful. The academic community regards breaches of the academic integrity rules as extremely serious matters. Sanctions for such a breach will include academic sanctions from the instructor in that the assignment will receive a grade of 0. Other actions may include failing the course for any violation to disciplinary sanctions ranging from probation to expulsion. When in doubt about plagiarism, paraphrasing, quoting, collaboration, or any other form of cheating, consult the course instructor.
