College of Health Sciences
The College of Health Sciences is dedicated to enhancing student success, from the recruitment of prospective students to providing quality, transformative education delivered by expert faculty to meet the healthcare workforce of tomorrow. The college offers three baccalaureate degrees to meet a variety of careers in exercise, sport, and healthcare. In addition, Glenville State University has partnered with Marshall University to offer a joint Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
The Bachelor of Science in Health & Human Performance has three majors: Athletic Conditioning & Coaching, Exercise Science, and Wellness Management. Students in Athletic Conditioning & Coaching receive a core foundation in athletic conditioning, sport coaching, and management. Students in Exercise Science receive a core foundation in anatomy & physiology, evaluation & rehabilitation techniques for orthopedic injuries, exercise physiology, exercise testing & prescription, and kinesiology. Students in Wellness Management receive the knowledge and skills to become advocates to improve health outcomes in businesses, communities, schools, and individuals. All three majors prepare students for immediate employment upon graduation or to pursue graduate or professional education.
The Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences was designed to provide a seamless transition to undergraduate students interested in pursuing eight graduate degrees in the fields of medicine and allied health: Athletic Training, Chiropractic, Dental, Medical, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, and Physician Assistant. All students earning this degree take 44 credit hours of coursework to provide a core foundation of knowledge in healthcare. Each of the eight concentrations has 32 credit hours of coursework to meet the typical prerequisite requirements for the specific professional health-related program. Finally, each concentration has 14 credit hours of electives to allow students to take any unique course required by a specific program or to simply strengthen their academic background. Glenville State University has partnerships for students interested in pursuing graduate medical and allied health programs.
The Bachelor of Arts in Education in Health & Physical Education prepares students for teaching careers in physical education and/or health education. The program promotes the development of professionals who will advance the fitness, psychomotor, cognitive, and affective learning of school-aged children.
