Health Science - Degree Completion

A major in Health Science in meant to provide a bridge between study in the natural sciences and the application of science principles to diverse health-related professions. Full-time faculty members in the Department of Health Science are also professors in the Departments of Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

As part of its continuing growth in Health Science education, La Roche University has established the BA in Health Science, beginning in the fall semester of 2008.  The BA in Health Science is designed to meet the needs of those students already credentialed health professionals who are seeking to complete at Bachelor's degree.  The major in Health Science combines study in natural and health sciences with liberal arts study through the Core Curriculum.  The Health Science major also offers general elective credits, which a student can use to add a second major, or a minor, to further one's background in the sciences or liberal arts.
 This program is for individuals who maintain active certification in one of the following health professions:

• Radiography[R.T.(R)from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists]
• Nuclear Medicine Technology [R.T.(N) from the A.R.R.T.]
