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.
