A Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences combines a broad spectrum of behavioral sciences, social sciences, natural sciences, and health sciences courses and electives for students who desire a health focused academic experience. In addition, students choose one of three academic concentrations to obtain greater exposure to a specific health discipline:  generalist, holistic health; pre-health professional and pre-pharmacy.

The Bachelor of Science in Nutrition (NTR) provides coursework in a wide array of nutritional domains, including community nutrition, medical nutrition therapy, and food science, among others. Students can apply for the dietetics specialization in their sophomore year, for entry in their junior year.
