Bachelor of Science - Clinical Physiology

The Bachelor of Science - Clinical Physiology degree provides students with a solid grounding in the factual and conceptual mastery of the interdisciplinary nature of the study of human structure and function. Students participate in, and learn to appreciate, the application of scientific research to real world problems and service for the benefit of the community. The program specifically prepares students to enter graduate or specialized post-baccalaureate professional programs in critical high-demand, healthcare arenas including:

• Physical and Occupational Therapy
• Physicians' Assistants
• Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation
• Sports Medicine - Athletic Training
