The Bachelor of Science in Integrated Studies: Health Sciences provides an academic foundation for students pursuing clinical or research careers in health care. The program includes courses that examine the foundational science for health care professionals. The program also addresses scientific, social, political, ethical and organizational issues in health care as well as implications for individual practice and public policy. The course work underscores the complex, interdisciplinary nature of health care today and the mandate for critical thinking, contextual understanding and ethical behavior across all related fields and careers.

The program equips students with an academic foundation for graduate or professional school or for work in a variety of health care professions, including (but not limited to) community health, public health, biomedical research, medicine, nursing, dentistry, and physical and occupational therapy.
