Allied Health Sciences

The university encourages students interested in the Allied Health Science professions to complete a B.A. in Biology or Chemistry or a B.S. in Biochemistry before entering a school for Allied Health Sciences. The advantages of the degree background are numerous. In order to cope with new developments in the profession, including increasingly complex equipment, the strong background in mathematics and physics included in the Biology or Chemistry major at UD becomes essential. Such a degree also provides the option of entering graduate schools of biology or chemistry, or going on to medical school should there be a change of interest.
