Overview
Program Description
The Health Studies program at Arkansas State University serves a three-fold purpose for students that are:
- Planning to seek employment in a health or health related area upon graduation;
- Desiring a bachelor’s degree following an associate’s degree in health disciplines and
- Planning a health career that requires a post-baccalaureate plan of study.
This degree does not lead to a professional credential or state licensure.
