Enrollment Management | Application for the Bachelor of Health Sciences

Description
The mission of the Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHS) program is to prepare health professionals to be successful in the challenging health care environment and is designed to fill the gap between one and two-year clinical programs and positions requiring a bachelor's degree. The BHS program is committed to meeting the needs of adult learners and gives the student the opportunity to advance educationally after completion of many entry-level two-year health professional credentialing programs. The curriculum is designed to develop leadership, information management, and decision-making skills and BHS courses are offered in an online format to accommodate working health professionals statewide, nationally and internationally. Most BHS Internet courses require an introductory weekend session in Charleston each semester. These sessions provide for face-to-face interaction with fellow students and faculty and establish expectations and a foundation for the courses. Additional electives and practicum courses allow students the flexibility to design meaningful educational experiences of value to their specific career goals. Part-time students generally complete the degree in two years. Full-time students may complete the program in one year.
