UoP Health Science--anything similar out there?

  • Excelsior University BS in Health Sciences or new BS in Public Health
  • TESU BS in Health Services Technology, BS in Health Studies, or BS in Technical Studies with area of study in Health Studies
  • University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Wisconsin Flex BS in Biomedical Sciences: Health Sciences
  • Walden University Tempo BS in Health Studies or BS in Public Health
  • WGU new BS in Health Science, new BS in Public Health, or BS in Health and Human Services
  • UMPI YourPace, upcoming release date TBA, BS in Health Administration with concentration in Community Health
I'm allowing the Health Administration title from UMPI because of the sub-title in Community Health. If you'd accept a straight health administration or management title several more options open.
Thanks! I should have been clearer, when I said competency-based, I meant more the self-paced style like WGU. I have looked at Excelsior and TESU but transferability of courses seems limited for that particular major (a few years back someone on this board did a health-science-type degree and finding matching courses was quite involved). I applied for UW-Milwaukee a while back, which is more like the WGU style, but was not happy with the low amount of courses they wanted to transfer, which would have been made it hard to complete in one or two terms. I should have mentioned that!

That said, the UMPI looks like it might be right up my alley. I didn't realize that they had that offering coming up. I have read so many good things about UMPI and the responsiveness of its professors and support staff on this forum, so I'm figuring it might just be perfect even with the health administration title. Close enough, especially since this is more for my own gratification/hobby than for salary purposes.

For Walden, I've seen people post about problems with getting courses unlocked, which drags out the process so that they have to pay for more terms than they want to. But perhaps that is for newer degrees and not ones that have been around for a while, like the ones you mentioned.

Honestly thought WGU required one of those professions, so I need to take another look at it.

Thanks so much!
