Not only will recent healthcare reforms demand greater number of healthcare providers and educators, this need is exacerbated as a generation of health professionals are retiring. This program prepares students to meet the opportunity, with passionate and accomplished health faculty, who have extensive experience in health education and research in the areas of obesity, smoking prevention and treatment, HIV, and cardiovascular disease.

Following successful completion of pre-major requirements, students with a 2.3 cumulative UH GPA may declare a major in Health. The Bachelor of Science in Health offers three degree tracks: public health; health promotion; and health promotion for allied health professionals.
