allied health science major Sample Schedule

Allied Health Major with business minor sample schedule

The allied health science major serves as the pre-professional phase of the Master of Athletic Training program. Carthage has agreements with Logan University for a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, Washington University St. Louis for a Master in Occupational Therapy, and the Medical College of Wisconsin for a Master in Public Health. This major can serve as the pre-professional phase of those dual-degree programs.

The curriculum, taught by practicing healthcare providers, also prepares students for graduate physical therapy, physician assistant, pharmacy, and chiropractic programs.

Those students interested in non-patient contact healthcare careers in the pharmaceutical industry, medical devices, and healthcare administration are well prepared with the addition of a minor in business administration.
