Program Description

The Bachelor of Science with a Major in Integrated Health Science will provide a broad-based interdisciplinary degree designed for students interested in pursuing a career in healthcare. To do so, the IHS major will consist of a core group of classes grounded in the basic natural, social and health sciences. The IHS major prepares students to become informed and engaged health professionals, able to think critically about health-related issues and work as part of a healthcare team to develop innovative solutions to current and future healthcare issues. Coursework focuses on the core functions of the healthcare system while emphasizing strategies to promote population health. In addition, the curriculum provides a venue for career exploration. The IHS program of study is flexible enough to allow students career options in the healthcare industry or preparation for graduate education in allied health fields.
