Students must satisfy
the
requirements for one of the health science concentrations listed below. All graduates will be awarded a B.S. in
Health Science, irrespective of which concentration is selected.
Concentration
1: Pre-Occupational Therapy
-- This concentration will prepare students to apply to a graduate
program in occupational
therapy. Graduate occupational therapy
programs will accept a wide range of undergraduate degrees, but the
B.S. in
Health Science with the pre-occupational therapy concentration prepares
the
student for future practice in health care while efficiently including
the prerequisite
courses.
See the Department of
Physical
and Occupational Therapy in the School of Rehabilitation and
Communication
Sciences in the Division of Health Sciences section of the catalog for
detailed
information about this concentration.
Concentration
2: Pre-Occupational Therapy,
Accelerated
--
This concentration
area will prepare students to apply for early entrance into the ISU
three year
Occupational Therapy Program. Students
pursuing this concentration will complete General Education Objectives,
the
B.S. in Health Science Core courses, and the pre-requisite courses for
admission into the Occupational Therapy Program during the first three
years
and will apply for early entry during the fall semester of the 3rd
year. Students who are accepted for
early entry (competitive and limited number) will complete the first
pre-professional year of the Occupational Therapy Program, while
concurrently
completing the 4th and final year of the B.S. in Health
Science. Students would then complete
two more years within the graduate Master of Occupational Therapy
Program. Students pursuing this
concentration who are
not accepted into the early entry cohort, may take additional courses
during
their 4th year to complete the B.S. in Health Science and
apply to a
graduate program in occupational therapy.
See the Department of
Physical
and Occupational Therapy in the School of Rehabilitation and
Communication
Sciences in the Division of Health Sciences section of the catalog for
detailed
information about this concentration.
Concentration
3: Health Occupations -- Students who have
graduated or
are enrolled in health occupations training at the level of an
Associate degree
have the opportunity to pursue a bachelor’s degree with an
advanced general
health science focus, when choosing this concentration.
A B.S. in Health Science will satisfy many of
the prerequisites for a variety of health science-related graduate
programs.
See the Health
Occupations
Department in the College of Technology section of the catalog for
detailed
information about this concentration.
Concentration
4: Pharmacotherapy -- Doctor of Pharmacy
students
can apply to receive a B.S. in Health Science upon completion of the
second
year of the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum.
This concentration is only available to students who
successfully:
See the Doctor of
Pharmacy in the
College of Pharmacy section of the catalog for detailed information
about this
concentration.
