This program is designed for students who have an interest and aptitude in STEM disciplines, but who would like to expand their studies in other areas as a foundation for an interdisciplinary career, such as in health advocacy, research, and analytics. It is also designed for students planning to continue their studies in a graduate or professional program. Students work closely with academic advisors post transfer to select courses that align with their academic and career goals.
There are no prerequisites for this program; however, students will be required to take upper-division science courses, many of which have foundational science prerequisites. The courses below are strongly recommended to be successful in advanced coursework.
