Bachelor of Arts in Health and Well-Being

Health and Well-Being majors have the unique ability to blend an interest in helping others with courses focused on community health. This is perfect if you are considering working in a hospital or healthcare setting as either a practitioner or an administrator.

This flexible approach customizes this degree for your dream job and is an excellent path for anyone considering professional programs beyond an undergraduate degree, including physical therapy, occupational therapy or chiropractic care.

Health and Well-Being majors complete one of two tracks: Pre-Health Professions (BS) or Community Well-Being (BA).
