The health sciences major is intended for students who wish to pursue careers in allied health professions after completing their undergraduate degree at ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú.
Students who declare this major choose one of four career-specific tracks: pre-athletic training/exercise science, pre-physical therapy, pre-occupational therapy, or communication sciences and disorders—all of which leave room for electives in disciplines spanning economics to sports psychology. Another option: pick two tracks and leave your graduate options wide open. It’s all possible.
In true liberal arts fashion, a senior capstone seminar ties the whole major together. Health sciences majors of all tracks will take Health 385 Social Issues in Health Sciences, in which students from all healthcare-related majors come together to explore the ethical and social issues related to health science while co-authoring research papers about their chosen field of study.
The undergraduate health sciences major perfectly positions you for continued education. Moravian's graduate programs in athletic training, occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language pathology are natural continuations of the health sciences major, and those who choose such paths will graduate with two outstanding degrees that will ready them for a career in health care.
