Bachelors Program

Program Requirements

The BS in Health Sciences with a major in Clinical Research Administration requires successful completion of 132 credit hours, divided into three degree components: general education (30 credit hours), advanced standing and electives (60 credit hours), and distance education health sciences courses (42 credit hours).

Advanced Standing and Electives (60 Credit Hours)

Up to 60 credits of advanced standing may be awarded to graduates of non-college-based health sciences programs who present appropriate documentation and professional certification. Credit earned toward an associate's degree in a health sciences field will be evaluated for transfer as academic credit.

Electives should be selected in consultation with a Clinical Research Administration advisor. The general education and elective course work may be completed by taking coursework at community colleges and other accredited institutions of higher education, by taking CLEP or DANTES examinations.
