Anthropology (Health), B.S.
The BS degree in Anthropology with a concentration in Health is intended for students interested in pursuing careers in health-related fields. This track is compatible with pre-medicine, pre-dental, pre-veterinary, pre-nursing, pre-pharmacy, pre-optometry, pre-occupational therapy, pre-physical therapy, and pre-physician assistant, preparation, but the department strongly suggests that students pursuing it seek further guidance through the Office of PreHealth Studies, as specific prehealth professional course recommendations do change periodically.
