HEALTH SCIENCE:
Health Science is an interdisciplinary program comprised of courses in Health Promotion and Health Fitness, Nutrition, Substance Abuse and Addictions, Biology, Chemistry, Management, and Exercise Science. The promotion of self-awareness and healthy choices, along with an environmental approach,  are emphasized as strategies for the intervention, prevention, and management of health and wellness.
All Health Science majors complete the Health Science core, which focuses on the science of health and the art of health promotion. To complete the Health Science major, students select one of three options: Health Promotion and Fitness, Nutrition, or Substance Abuse and Addictions.
