Applied Health Science, Specialization in Pre-pharmacy, BAHS


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs

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.

Pre-pharmacy specialization
The pre-pharmacy specialization provides an opportunity for well-prepared students to pursue further study in pharmacy. Students may choose to transfer to a Doctor of Pharmacy program while remaining eligible to earn a Bachelor of Applied Health Science degree at BGSU.

Learning Outcomes for Health Science and Pre-pharmacy

Upon completion of the baccalaureate degree, students are expected to:

  • Master fundamental principles of natural science, social science and mathematics, read the scientific literature, and critically evaluate research findings;
  • Use reference materials, empirical methods, and statistical and computing skills to solve occupational problems, detect/resolve problems and errors, and develop/test/validate new models;
  • Abide by laboratory safety rules, policies, and regulations, recognizing any unsafe conditions and correcting them;
