The Bachelor of Health Science degree has a transfer degree option for students who have completed an associate degree in an allied health field. Eligible students must show an earned associate degree (or diploma degree for nursing; certificate in Paramedic), submit appropriate documentation of completed credentialing, and provide proof of active state licensure, if applicable (Dental, Nursing, Respiratory, EMS).
Students submit all aforementioned records to the program director for review. If approved, the student will pay a pre-determined fee ($225 or $300) to the Bursar’s office. After verification of payment, the program director will route the payment proof, licensure and credentialing documents, and a completed “Pathways to Health Science Bachelor’s Degree Memo” for approval to the Department Chair, Dean, and VPAA. The VPAA will route the documents to the Registrar. Upon receipt, the Office of the Registrar is authorized to reduce the Upper Division requirements on the student’s degree audit as dictated below:
