Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

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.
