The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Bachelor of Science in Community Health dual degree is geared toward students who have an interest in working in a public health setting. This dual program provides you the opportunity to broaden your understanding of health care and expand on your nursing degree by focusing on one of these Community Health concentrations: Public Health, Human Services, Gerontology, Women’s Health, or Healthcare Business. Your BSN advisor and the Community Health program director will work together as your co-advisors, creating an individualized course sequence plan that integrates courses from both programs.
