Applied Health Science, Specialization in Allied Health, BAHS


The applied health science degree is designed to prepare graduates for work in a health-related field and for further education and training at the post-baccalaureate level. The AHS degree consists of six separate specializations which have common BG Perspective, core, and supportive requirements but differing specialization courses. The diversified curriculum provides a strong background in the basic sciences and emphasizes the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Allied Health specialization
The allied health specialization is open to any student who has completed an accredited associate degree program in an allied health field. Those courses which comprise the technical or clinical practice component of the associate degree may be used to satisfy the specialization requirements of the baccalaureate degree.
