卫生研究理学学士-物理治疗前/职业治疗前

健康研究是一个具有两个重点领域的学位：物理治疗前/职业治疗前和社区健康。这些选项一起为您提供有关健康的基础课程。第一种选择为您准备了适用于研究生院的必要的先决条件课程（PT，OT，AT，脊椎治疗等），同时强调了人体运动。第二种选择是您进入与健康相关的职业（健康教育，健康促进，加速护理计划等）的跳板。物理疗法（PT）和职业疗法（OT）是旨在优化和改善人体运动的两个职业。要成为PT或OT，您必须首先获得学士学位，并完成一系列先修课程。在课程学习的最后一年中，您可以申请研究生课程。PT是一个博士课程，尽管大多数
Health Studies is a degree with two emphasis areas: Pre-Physical Therapy/Pre-Occupational Therapy and Community Health. Together, these options provide you with foundational coursework in health and wellness. The first option prepares you with the necessary prerequisite courses for application to graduate school (PT, OT, AT, chiropractic, etc.), while emphasizing human movement. The second option serves as a your springboard into health-related careers (health education, health promotion, accelerated nursing programs, etc.). Physical Therapy (PT) and Occupational Therapy (OT) are two careers aimed at optimizing and improving human movement. To become a PT or OT, you must first obtain a bachelor's degree, and complete a set of prerequisite courses. While in the last year of coursework, you can apply to graduate programs. PT is a doctoral level program, and the majority of OT programs are a master's, although, there are a few OT doctoral programs. UCM does NOT have a graduate program for PT and OT, but offers a Pre-PT/OT emphasis for those wanting to continue to graduate school. Benefits to the Pre-PT/OT degree: streamlined, graduate in 4 year, most, if not all, prerequisite courses are included in the plan, takes out the ''guess work,'' the department of Nutrition & Kinesiology offers students a wide variety of movement based coursework directly related to these fields. While the emphasis area is geared toward PT/OT, students who are interested in pursuing a master's in Athletic Training, Chiropractic Medicine, Orthotic and Prosthetics, Physician Assistant, and other related fields, would still obtain the necessary preparatory coursework for application to the corresponding graduate programs.
