The Health Sciences program was first created in 2003 with the students in the first graduating class earning their degrees in 2005.  Ever since then, the program has been growing with many exciting career and developmental opportunities. 

The program offers the choice of one of three areas of concentration: 

§         Health Management

§         Health and Wellness

§         Geriatrics and Gerontology 

All three areas lead to a Bachelor of Science Degree in Allied Health Professions. Graduates are prepared for entry-level career opportunities in health care and health-related services or for entry into graduate and professional programs.
