Mission
The mission of the Science Prerequisites for Health Professions program is to provide rigorous courses that help non-matriculated students develop a strong understanding of the content, oral and written communication skills, and critical and innovative thinking skills that provide the foundation for entry into, and successful completion of, graduate programs, particularly in the health sciences.
Program Description
The Science Prerequisites for the Health Professions (SPHP) program is primarily for students who have completed a baccalaureate degree and wish to enter a graduate program, but lack the necessary prerequisite courses. Many students enrolled in these courses will be working professionals. Students may enroll in SPHP courses at any time and from almost anywhere in the world. The courses are designed to be completed in sixteen (16) weeks, but they are self-paced, so students may complete the courses at an accelerated pace in order to meet their personal academic needs.
All of the courses in the SPHP program are included in 911±¬ΑΟΝψΊμΑμ½ν's regional accreditation by the New England Commission on Higher Education (NECHE), the highest standard of academic accreditation possible.
Many institutions accept these courses, but we encourage you to check with specific schools to verify that the courses are transferrable before you apply and/or register.
For more information on the courses offered within the SPHP program, including prerequisites, registration information, and a description of laboratory components, please call 1 (855) 325-0894 or email prehealth@une.edu.
