Health Studies Program Mission

The health studies curriculum is designed to prepare students for careers in a variety of fields in science and industry including the life sciences, healthcare, education, conservation, and technicians in laboratory research. The program includes a three-semester math component to prepare students for the computation rigors required to be successful in the sciences. The skills acquired by health studies majors contribute greatly to their ability to work in teams and think critically. This program provides the foundation for students who plan to attend a four-year institution and major in a science area.

Health Studies Program Learning Outcomes

At the completion of this program, the student should be able to:

  1. Think critically using the scientific method and scientific reasoning.
  2. Communicate scientific information (orally and in writing) and work as part of a team to carry out project-based activities.
  3. Use laboratory investigations and appropriate procedures to generate accurate and meaningful quantitative and qualitative data and derive reasonable conclusions from them.
  4. Demonstrate technical, equipment, and measurement skills essential to basic scientific inquiry
