Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences-Health Science

The B.S.H.S. in Health Science is for students that desire to pursue graduate degrees in Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physician Assistant, Chiropractic Medicine, or Medicine. Coursework will cover an in-depth core of anatomy, exercise physiology, rehabilitation practices, biomechanics and human movement science courses. Each student will choose a concentration in either Pre-Chiropractic, Pre-Physical Therapy, Pre-Physician's Assistant, Pre-Occupational Therapy or Pre-Athletic Training in order to complete the various per-requisites for graduate schools in Texas. Students may declare as a Health Science major at any time if they have completed less than 60 hours of course work. Upon the completion of 45 credit hours, students must have a GPA of at least 3.0 to continue in the program. Following the completion of 60 hours, a Health Science major is required to maintain a minimum cumulative 3.2 GPA. A student who has a GPA lower than the minimum requirements will be required to change their major.
