Health science courses are concerned with fundamental issues
in human health and disease and are, therefore, interdisciplinary
in both scope and content. They have been designed not only
for students anticipating careers in medicine, dentistry, nursing,
pharmacy, medical technology, physical therapy, cytotechnology,
and numerous other health care professions and services, but
for all students interested in individual and community health,
the clinical and paramedical arts, and the biomedical sciences.
Health sciences courses are listed under two designations: 1)
Health Sciences; 2) other disciplines.
