Clinical Health Studies Major — B.S.
This B.S. degree requires 60 liberal arts credits out of the 120 credits required for graduation.
The CHS/PT Program is a combined bachelor of science and doctor of physical therapy degree. Students graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Clinical Health Science along with a chosen minor in May of their senior year and continue in graduate coursework for their Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.
Note: The B.S. in clinical health studies does not provide eligibility for licensure to practice physical therapy. This degree is awarded after four years of study in the six-year combined B.S./D.P.T. program in clinical health studies/physical therapy.
