2023-2024

Health Sciences, B.S.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences begins with the general education curriculum common to all Tuskegee University undergraduates in the first two years of study. The final two years of study consists of the concentration component that permits a multidisciplinary investigation of an area, problem or theme within health sciences that is meaningful to a student’s interest and career aspirations. This degree requires 125 hours, of which 64 hours must be upper division courses. Consistent with Tuskegee University’s requirements for undergraduates, a cumulative GPA of 2.0 must be achieved for graduation. In addition to courses explicitly listed on the curriculum sheet, courses broadly described as “health science electives” are permitted to satisfy degree requirements upon approval by the program coordinator or the department head.
