Bachelor of Science in human biology

"3+2"-year MPAS accelerated curriculum

ABOUT THE DEGREE

The Bachelor of Science with a major in human biology is a versatile degree that provides the student with extensive preparation for graduate or professional studies in any field that works with the human organism. While the natural sciences are emphasized, students receive a thorough background in social sciences, cultural studies, and the humanities. In addition, graduates in human biology have an understanding of health care disciplines and the qualifications they demand.

Highly qualified KCMA students enrolled in the human biology major who express a desire to accelerate their studies and meet admission requirements for the MPAS degree may be admitted to the “3+2”-year program of study. Those students accepted into the “3+2”-year program of study have the potential to complete both
degrees in an accelerated fashion.

This program of study is only for KCMA students who have not earned bachelor’s degrees, are enrolled in the human biology major, and desire to accelerate their completion for the graduate program in physician assistant studies. Students who adhere to this program of study are not guaranteed admission to the PA program; current pre-PA students at KCMA must submit a letter of intent to the PA office by May 1 in the year prior to anticipated matriculation into the PA program. Example: May 1, 2011, is the deadline for students intending to be in the PA program, if accepted, in the summer of 2012.
