Students in Health Science value health promotion and disease prevention and are dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and communities.
We are updating our website with details about our new Applied Health Science degrees. This is an exciting new opportunity for students who want to pursue in-demand careers in health promotion and disease prevention. In the meantime, if you have questions about the program please email Marcia Schoenrock.
