The health and wellness services focus equips students for admission to clinical or advanced degree programs in areas like occupational therapy, accelerated nursing, applied behavior analysis, or health education. This concentration also benefits undergraduates with relevant work experience seeking careers in health and human services, nonprofit organizations, corporate wellness initiatives, and health promotion programs.
This specialization consists of 20 credit hours of core courses, professional concentration requirements, and tailored health science electives aligned with each student's career path. The program also mandates an internship relevant to the student's professional aspirations. Potential internship opportunities for the health and wellness track include approved international study programs, health promotion initiatives, fitness programs, and nutrition services with partners like WELLAWARE at Boone Hospital Center, Safe Kids Columbia, and Case Management at Lutheran Family and Children's Services.
