The Health Science AS is designed to allow the student seeking an advanced degree in a healthcare field to transfer to a four-year institution for program completion. The student will have the opportunity to develop a strong curricular foundation in general education and life science courses, while exploring areas of interest through the careful selection of elective courses that fit within a specific career path. With the Health Science Meta Major, the student can narrow their choice in major while developing an educational plan that leads to degree completion.
The CWC nursing student working toward a bachelor’s degree in nursing at the University of Wyoming benefits from this program, as does the student interested in a healthcare field who is unsure of a particular area of focus.
The student is strongly encouraged to meet with an advisor when choosing elective courses that will meet degree requirements.
