Interdepartmental Studies: Health Science B.A. Requirements
The health science track requires 38-43 semester hours of work for the major. It provides a preapproved plan of study that combines a generalized health background with a varied choice of emphasis areas: multidisciplinary science, entrepreneurial, aging, and global health. There is also an opportunity for students to self-define their emphasis area: students who choose this track have the option of proposing their own health science-related emphasis area to the faculty advisory committee.
