General Program Information

Human Health Concentration

The purpose of the Human Health Concentration is to provide a “human-centric” program with exposure to current concepts, laboratory techniques, and disease prevention/health care recommendations and protocols. Emphases will be placed on anatomy, physiology, disease, and human health. The program is intended for students:

• desiring to enter the health care industry, but uncertain about a specific health discipline
• targeting specific health disciplines, particularly those that require graduate degrees, or
• who complete the concentration as a foundation for technical, managerial, or administrative work in health care and industry.
