In addition to the liberal studies requirements, college core requirements, and major core requirements, students choose one of the following concentrations that allow students to focus their studies.
Bioscience Concentration
Focuses on the natural sciences and the health of individuals, preparing students for professional programs such as medicine, dentistry, physician assistant, physical and occupational therapy, pharmacy, master's-level nursing, and more.
Public Health Sciences Concentration
Focuses on the social sciences and health of populations, preparing students to address community health challenges through intervention, policy, and health systems administration.
