Why Study Health Professions
The University Studies program is an excellent choice for students who are unsure of their academic career plans. The program also is ideal for students who are attempting to fulfill core requirements for any four-year degree. A student pursuing a bachelor degree may apply for the University Studies degree upon completion of the requirements without interrupting the bachelor program.
The University Studies associate degree program is designed to serve as a complete two-year educational program, as well as to transfer to a bachelor’s degree program. It includes many courses that are required for any four-year program of study and an area of electives that may allow a student to enroll in either major specific courses or courses of a personal interest.
Students complete the General Education core required for all Bachelors degrees at 365bet and then students will complete 18 hours of elective credit in the health professions field. These electives will be based upon the field of study you wish to pursue.
Courses in this degree are taught by faculty across the entire campus.
