Allied Health

The

Bachelor of Science degree with a major in allied

health

is an interdisciplinary program designed to prepare

students for admission into graduate-level allied health care

provider programs including physical therapy, physician

assistant, and occupational therapy. The allied health major is

not necessarily designed to prepare students for the medical

profession. Students seeking admission to medical school

should consider majoring in the premed program offered in the

Department of Science and Mathematics. An ACT composite

score of 25 (or SAT composite of 1150) or higher is highly

recommended.
