±¬×ߺÚÁÏ College will begin offering a new undergraduate degree this fall – a Bachelor of Science in the Health Sciences. The College recently received approval to begin offering the new degree from the New York State Education Department. This degree furthers ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ College’s long tradition of providing top-notch educational programs, particularly in the fields of healthcare.
Students who study Health Sciences can pursue degrees in a number of Allied Health professions, such as Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT), Athletic Training, Speech-Language Pathology, or Physician Assistant.
Director of the Allied Health Division Pamela Story, OTD, OTR/L, said there are three tracks offered within the new Health Sciences Program. “We have two tracks specifically designated as pre-professional tracks – one for OT and one for PT,� said Story. “There is a third general track that has a lot of flexibility in it and a lot of space for electives.� The students in the third track can use the electives to take pre-requisites for graduate studies in other fields such as speech-language pathology or athletic training.
±¬×ߺÚÁÏ College offers a Master of Science degree in Occupational Therapy and a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. Most students in those advanced programs earned their undergraduate degrees at other institutions. Students earning the new B.S. in Health Sciences degree at ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ College may now decide to apply for the OT and PT graduate programs at ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ College as well.
