What does "interprofessional" mean?
In today's healthcare settings, professionals don't work in isolation. Physical therapists,
administrators, athletic trainers and other specialists coordinate care as a team.
In this program, you learn how those roles connect - and develop the communication
and teamwork skills healthcare employers expect.
Choose from three concentrations, with all classes held on Seton Hall’s South Orange, NJ campus.
- Health Sciences Administration and Management: Ideal for students interested in healthcare leadership and operations. Prepare for entry-level roles in hospitals, clinics and healthcare organizations or for graduate study in healthcare administration and public health.Coursework covers health policy, health care management, leadership and team dynamics, and includes a capstone course and a professional internship.
- Exercise Science: Designed for students planning careers in rehabilitation, wellness or graduate clinical programs. This concentration prepares you for graduate study in physical therapy, athletic training, occupational therapy and related fields. Coursework includes exercise physiology, nutrition and program design for special populations, along with Biology and Chemistry. Students complete a hands-on internship.
Because the curriculum emphasizes teamwork across health professions, graduates are prepared to work in a wide range of healthcare settings or continue into specialized graduate programs.
We also offer an accelerated 3+2 program – B.S. in IPHS (Exercise Science track) plus M.S. in Athletic Training.
