STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The Bachelor of Science in Health Professions degree at Kettering College of Medical Arts provides high quality, values-based baccalaureate education in health-related fields with the spirit of Christian caring and service.

DEGREE DESCRIPTION

Kettering College of Medical Arts offers a Bachelor of Science in Health Professions designed for those who have obtained an associate degree or its equivalent in allied health care and wish to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree. The course of study is the equivalent to the junior and senior years of a four-year baccalaureate program. Students may choose a full-time or part-time pace of study, selecting coursework from modalities that include traditional, online, and web-centric
learning environments.

Attitudes and values fostered in this degree will enhance career mobility within health care settings and may serve as a foundation for graduate education. The Bachelor of Science in Health Professions curriculum consists of concentration areas in health professions and specific health care disciplines that enhance and build upon the associate degree.

MAJORS

BSHP majors for those seeking greater emphasis in specific health care disciplines are offered in:

• Advanced imaging
• Medical sonography
• Respiratory care
  

For students who desire a general, non-discipline-specific major for their BSHP degree, the Health Care Professional Studies major provides course options in health care management, education, and business.

Students who wish to enroll in the BSHP program without earning an associate degree will be reviewed individually to establish credit equivalent to an associate degree.
