Courses for the program will be selected in close consultation with the student’s advising team. Courses in the major come from disciplines in a variety of areas of study, primarily the natural sciences, mathematics and social sciences. In addition to the pre-requisite courses needed for their desired graduate or post-baccalaureate program,  all majors take Health Science Seminar, a 1-credit course designed to help students with the application process, from preparing the personal statement to interview tips and financial planning. The major requires a minimum of 33 credit hours (nine courses) chosen from the lists in each field below, one of which must be an internship at the 390 level in the student’s proposed career field. This internship experience is undertaken in the junior or senior year and is intended to give the student an opportunity to gain the real-world experience necessary for a career in any of the health care fields.

 

The Health Sciences Seminar acts as a capstone to the major along with the internship experience and should be taken in the junior or senior year.
