Health Sciences provides training for students interested in training for a career in a hospital or other health-related setting. Although this is not a nursing program, some students enter this program and then, if accepted, transfer into a nursing program if qualifications are met. Others will use the degree to open opportunities at a variety of health-care employment settings.
Graduates of the program should be able to:
- Function as a manager in a health-related setting;
- Be familiar with a broad range of issues and settings common to the healthcare employment setting; and
- Identify and conduct themselves as members of the health care profession.
Transfer/Advising
If a student plans to seek admission to a nursing program or transfer to another institution, he/she should consult his/her advisor as well as the targeted nursing program to avoid potential loss of credits in the transfer process. NOTE: Anatomy and Physiology I and II must have been taken no longer than five (5) years prior to consideration for admissions to the nursing program.
