A Bachelor of Science in health sciences degree combines a broad spectrum of liberal arts, basic sciences, social sciences and health sciences course requirements and electives for students who desire a generalized health sciences academic credential. In addition, students choose one of five academic concentration areas to obtain greater exposure to a specific health discipline. These five academic areas include exercise science, integrative holistic medicine, pre-pharmacy, pre-physical therapy and pre-health professional studies. Students completing the exercise science concentration area obtain all the academic course prerequisites necessary for consideration for admission to the Master of Science in exercise science program. The integrative holistic medicine concentration prepares students for many traditional and non-traditional health and service-oriented professions and graduate programs including the Oakland University Graduate Certificate in Complementary Medicine and Wellness. The pre-pharmacy concentration area prepares students for application to the Doctor of Pharmacy program at Wayne State University. Students completing the pre-physical therapy concentration area obtain all the academic course prerequisites necessary for consideration for admission to the Oakland University Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program. The pre-health professional concentration area incorporates basic science courses to prepare students for the traditional application requirements for public health, medical, dental, optometric, physician assistant and other professional schools.
