The curriculum is designed as a “+2” degree allowing students to transfer 50 credits of their professional coursework. In addition to the professional coursework required in the Bachelor of Science in Health Professions, students will be required to complete the general education requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree at the university, the College of Health Professions’ core courses, and additional upper level coursework from Ferris State University. The curriculum has been designed to allow students to pursue different avenues during their degree completion: a certificate in gerontology; a broad general exposure to health care management; specialization in health care finance; or a specialization in personnel practices in health care.
