Health Science (BS, BA)
Program Goals
The Health Science (HS) major is designed to prepare students for graduate study in the allied health disciplines. Students selecting the Health Science major in the Health Science department understand that this major is a preparatory program and that they must seek a masters degree in their area of interest after graduating with a BS degree from Lincoln University. Health Science faculty advisors work closely with these students and assist in the application process to graduate schools.
