BS Health Sciences

The Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences (BS-HSCI) in general studies is designed for students who are ready to prepare for a career in the healthcare field. Professionals already working can complete a BS-HSCI degree to move on to a senior leadership position. Students completing the program will also find graduate school opportunities.

This degree is very flexible. Students who have 18 or more credits in the allied health field can transfer those into the degree program. Students who do not possess credit may elect to complete a specialization while working on the degree. We will be adding a variety of concentrations to help a student customize his/her degree program. Students with military credit can use that experience to complete the BS-HSCI degree. Graduates will be qualified to assume leadership positions in healthcare and also move on to graduate school.
