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.

This program provides the foundation for students who plan to attend a four-year institution and major in a science area.
