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 healthcare 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.
