THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE AND ARTS IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND FAMILY SCIENCES
BSA in Human Development and Family Sciences
The requirements for the bachelor of science and arts (BSA) degree are designed to give each student an opportunity to combine a core mathematics or science experience with an interdisciplinary curriculum that complements his or her major. Students pursuing the BSA will major in a discipline within the College of Natural Sciences and minor in a field of study that allows them to explore applications of their major in the broader society, see the impacts of the sciences in other fields of study, and develop a complementary expertise, which supports multidisciplinary study. The flexibility and interdisciplinary nature of this degree makes it an excellent choice for students interested in medical school and other health professions.
