In the undergraduate Bachelor of Science (BS) in Health Sciences program, students may choose from three concentrations within the program: Human Biology, Biopsychology, and Health Science Administration. Each concentration has a defined curriculum progressing from introductory to advanced courses. All concentrations include the same General Education (GE) requirements that fulfill a common set of learning outcomes spanning communication and critical thinking skills, natural sciences, liberal arts, and the social sciences. Additionally, the three concentrations are aligned with specific options for career paths in healthcare. This comprehensive program delivers a robust university education that prepares graduates to think independently and creatively as well as training them for practical occupations in health science. Biotechnology This concentration is appropriate for students interested in the latest advances in technologies that contribute to understanding the molecular nature of living organisms. Coursework is designed to support content expertise and hands-on lab skills development in areas necessary for the biotechnology industry. Key courses including Advanced Cell and Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, and Ethical Concerns in Biotechnology are just some of the options students choose from. Students that choose this concentration are prepared to pursue careers in the biotechnology industries, academic research laboratories, postgraduate work in molecular biology or biochemistry, or professional health programs. Human Biology This concentration is appropriate for students who are seeking focused coursework in biomedical sciences. It is a challenging curriculum that focuses upper division coursework on advanced topics of human biology such as functional anatomy, human genetics, microbiology, immunology, and pharmacology.. Students who complete this concentration are expected to be exceptionally well prepared for a variety of professional health programs and
