Health Sciences Program Description
The proposed Health Sciences major will address concerns to specifically meet the needs of undergraduate students desiring preparation for entry level positions in the Health Sciences and/or graduate programs in the Health Sciences.  The program will draw from several departments across McDaniel College to create a core group of courses with career-focused tracks (in athletic training, chiropractic, nursing, physical therapy, physician assistant, occupational therapy, or pharmacy) and consistency in advising.  The Health Sciences major also aligns with McDaniel College’s Institutional Mission as it integrates theory and practice in a carefully structured series of courses, labs, and collaborative and experiential learning opportunities.
