Bachelor of Science in Applied Science in Allied Health
Youngstown State University’s (YSU) Bachelor of Science in Applied Science (B.S.A.S.) in allied health is a bachelor’s degree completion program for students who have completed an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) or equivalent degree in a health-related field. The primary objective of the program is to provide graduates of healthcare programs the opportunity to gain the added expertise needed to expand their professional roles in the healthcare field. YSU will provide 30 semester hours of allied health classes taught by YSU professors online. Students pay YSU tuition and fees for these 30 hours. All other necessary coursework (general education and upper division courses, courses for the required A.A.S. and an optional minor) can be taken at Lakeland at Lakeland tuition costs.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Partnership students must meet YSU admission standards, including a 2.0 cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA).
Parallel Lakeland Programs
An associate degree in a health profession is required for the B.S.A.S. A YSU advisor will work with students to determine what additional Lakeland courses may be required.
Total Hours Needed
The B.S.A.S. in allied health requires a minimum of 120 credit hours, including 30 credit hours in allied health coursework.
Delivery Mode
Allied Health Courses are deliverd online.
WHEN SHOULD I REQUEST AN EVALUATION OF MY CREDITS?
Prospective partnership students are encouraged to have their credits evaluated near the completion of their associate’s degree. Youngstown State University is aware of the budget-conscious student. We will work with you to complete as many credits as possible at Lakeland’s tuition rate prior to transferring to YSU.
Students are encouraged to schedule an appointment with a YSU representative to review their transcripts and gain a better understanding of the partnership.
WHEN SHOULD I APPLY TO YSU?
Students are always encouraged to apply EARLY. Academic advisement begins in October and March
with registration (building your schedule) following in November and April for the subsequent terms. Students applying in time to be accepted and advised in October and March will have the best selection of course options. Please keep in mind the YSU deadline to apply is typically earlier than that of Lakeland’s.
