Students declaring a health science major need to successfully (grade C or better) complete a set of prerequisite, core, concentration, and elective courses. The list of these courses is provided below. Please note that not all courses are offered each semester. For more detailed information about the program, course offerings, faculty, and career options, please meet with a faculty advisor, review the CSUF catalogue or visit our web site at http://hdcs.fullerton.edu/hesc
All health science majors are strongly encouraged to meet with a health science faculty advisor at least once each semester (Laura Chandler Lchandler@fullerton.edu). Students wishing to pursue careers in the health professions (medical doctors, pharmacists, optometrists, and veterinarians) are advised to seek additional counseling through the Health Professions Office in UH-223.
