Mission
The mission of the Bachelor of Science with a major in Health Sciences/Master of Science in Athletic Training 3+2 program is to prepare students to enter into 911±¬ÁÏÍøºìÁì½í's Master of Science in Athletic Training degree program.
Major Description
The Bachelor of Science with a major in Health Sciences/Master of Science in Athletic Training 3+2 program is designed to provide foundational coursework in preparation for the 911±¬ÁÏÍøºìÁì½í Master of Science in Athletic Training Program. The study of anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and nutrition promotes a comprehensive framework for analyzing human health and disease. Exploration in the social/behavioral sciences, including psychology and sociology, emphasizes theories of human behavior, lifespan development, and sociocultural considerations. The examination of ethics, research methods, and collaborative interprofessional practice reveals the complex and dynamic nature of health and healthcare delivery. The curriculum is anchored in the Nor’easter Core, providing students with opportunities to engage in the liberal arts and science. Completion of this degree does not lead to licensure in any health discipline or field, and provides an excellent foundation for advanced study in the health professions.
