Note:
Students should work with a counselor, completion coach or academic advisor and the catalog of the four-year institution to which they plan to transfer for further guidance specific to their goals. Early in the program, students should check with their intended transfer university/college advisor for specific admissions and health sciences program requirements for course choices where options are listed for Humanities, Mathematical & Natural Science, Social & Behavioral Science and electives.
