5.14 Other Program Pathways
Graduates of the PHS program are prepared for programs in the school of health sciences. However, if you recall Chapter 3, Job Skills, students will develop skills in PHS that are applicable to multiple programs and careers. Part of the learning you are doing in this program is defining your goals, skills and learning styles. This may mean your path changes from health to another area – and that is a success too! Know that you will transfer these skills you have learned and this year is a step to your next opportunity. This section outlines just a few options that PHS has agreements with and some that students have chosen as another path. If you do not see a program listed here, please see …….career services or advising as there are many options available to you.
