Putting your online learning into practice

In addition to the online coursework, the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences program concludes with your choice of a capstone project or internship.

Capstone option

Students will work independently on an instructor-approved project.  The student will select a current topic in health sciences (within the last three years) and develop a 15-page APA formatted research paper with supporting references inclusive of all Health Sciences program objectives. Additionally, students will be expected to develop a summary presentation of at least 15 slides of the import aspects of the research project and specifically addressing key concepts of the health sciences-related topic.

The internship is designed to provide the student with the opportunity to experience and participate in duties typical of a contemporary workplace setting.
