Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Health Sciences - Public Health] From Furman University

Our program flows from our Wellness Concepts course, a general education course which leads students to understand the consequences of lifestyle habits on their well-being. The course focuses on a study of wellness concepts?physical, social, mental, emotional, and spiritual?that include an examination of the fundamental knowledge of physical fitness, chronic diseases, nutrition, stress, substance use and abuse, and sexually transmitted diseases.
