Health Studies
Although not a traditional specialty, the Health Studies track is designed for students pursuing admission to a professional school or graduate program after completing their undergraduate work. This track allows significant flexibility in completing necessary pre-requisite course work for programs in medicine, dentistry, chiropracty, osteopathy, nursing, physical therapy, or optometry. Students are also well prepared to enter graduate programs in public health, health administration, epidemiology and disease prevention.
More information related to the specific pre-professional requirements in the intended professional school may be obtained from the Office of Health and Legal Professions in the Academic Advisement Center as well as the Career Resource Center. Students should also contact a representative from the specific program to which they are seeking admission for more detailed information. It is the student's responsibility to plan necessary prerequisites into their course schedules.
