The Bachelor of Science in Health Science will prepare students with an interdisciplinary and liberal arts foundation for a variety of professional careers within the health care system. The common core requirements emphasize the human, behavioral, and physical sciences, and foster an appreciation of the complexities of the health care system. Students select one of four specific options of study: pre-physical therapy, pre-occupational therapy, health care administration, or health care informatics.

The 44-54 credit major will be comprised of 24 credits of required core courses, and 20-30 credits of courses within a selected option. In addition, 36 general education credits will be specified for completion by students in the major. The remaining general education requirements and electives will complete the 120 credits required for a Bachelor of Science Degree at UW-Stevens Point.

Following completion of the Health Science major, students will be eligible to apply to graduate schools within each of the options of study. These may include, but are not limited to graduate programs in:

• physical therapy,
• occupational therapy,
• health care informatics,
• business administration and health services, policy, and administration,

Admission pre-requisites differ by school, therefore students will need to check the individual requirements within each school and particular program for future education planning.
