Students in the Health Science Scholars (HSS) honors program pursue a course of study aimed at both career exploration and preparation for health science graduate and professional programs, other than Nursing. Students pursue a Bachelor of Science & Arts (BSA) Honors degree, which is offered by most departments in the College of Natural Sciences. For majors in which a BSA is not offered, Health Science Scholars pursue the BS degree along with all the other requirements for the HSS honors program. BSA Honors degree requirements for students in HSS include:

• An Introduction to Research Methods course
• Interdisciplinary seminars developed specifically for honors students
• A minimum of two three-credit-hour honors-level CNS courses
• Hands-on research for course credit
• Completion of a Capstone Thesis
• A minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA
