SHP Honors Program
Participate now as part of an Interdisciplinary team solving community based problems in the health professions
The School of Health Professions Honors program offers you the opportunity to experience real world team-based problem solving in community health care. In this program, you will be part of a team comprised of Biobehavioral Nutrition and Wellness (BNW), Biomedical Sciences (BMD) and Health Care Management (HCM) majors that will work with a faculty mentor to identify, research, solve and implement a solution to problem in partnership with a community health organization.
Eligibility requirements include:
- a GPA of 3.25 or higher;
- entering the 3rd year of your major;
- and completion of the application process.
Invitations to apply are sent to eligible BMD and HCM students during Spring semester, and the SHP Honors program curriculum begins in fall semester. Honors Program students who complete all required courses, a total of 10 hours including six hours of team project work, will graduate with School of Health Professions Honors.
