316 Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Health Science Overview The Department of Health Science is an interdisciplinary group of programs designed for health professionals with the desire to advance academically, administratively, or clinically within their profession. Offering distance education from the undergraduate to the doctoral level is consistent with the university’s and college’s commitment to lifelong learning. The department offers the Bachelor of Health Science (B.H.Sc.) and Master of Health Science (M.H.Sc.) Programs in an exclusively online format. The department also offers two innovative doctoral programs. The Doctor of Health Science (D.H.Sc.) and the Ph.D. in Health Science programs are offered via online and intense compressed residential format. These are postprofessional degrees targeted at health professionals trained at the master’s degree level. These programs attract active clinicians, clinician administrators, and health professions educators. Combined M.H.Sc./D.H.Sc. and M.H.Sc./ Ph.D. degree options are also available. The department also houses two preeminent, on-campus, entry-level programs. The Bachelor of Science in Cardiovascular Sonography is located at our Tampa Bay, Florida, location.
