Program Description
The goals of the applied science major are as follows:
1. Promote the development of a liberal education in students who enter into entry-level professional doctorate health science programs.
2. Promote the development of graduates who are able to apply the natural/basic sciences to the practice of their field of study in an applied health science field.
3. Enable students in entry-level professional doctorate health sciences programs the opportunity to earn a baccalaureate degree.
Admission
Students must apply to the Bachelor of Arts in Applied Science program by completing the appropriate section of the Change of Program form.
- For those graduating from the entry-level professional doctorate health science program, complete the "Addition to Program of Study" section.
- For those not graduating from the entry-level professional doctorate health science program, complete the "Change to Program of Study" section.
- Students are encouraged to apply to the Bachelor of Arts in Applied Science program at least one year prior to the expected graduation from that program.
Transcripts
- Students must have official transcripts from all other colleges and universities submitted to the University's Office of Admission in Stockton.
- Students may request copies of official transcripts housed in the School of Dentistry to be sent to the University's Office of Admission in Stockton.
- Unofficial copies of all transcripts should also be sent to the designated program director.
