Got accepted for the September term! I've been looking around the website to learn more about the specifics of the Health Sciences program.
Coursework
Beyond general education requirements, there are 14 required classes for the major:
Lower Division Coursework
Upper Division Coursework
Besides the one exception mentioned just now, all classes are available. This means that at least in theory, it should be possible to complete the entire program in a single term (whether or not this is actually feasible, I'm still unsure of).
Other Notes
Unlike UMPI, you can actually scroll through all of the available classes through the class search. It looks like you manually sign up for the classes you want (also unlike UMPI).
Almost all of my classes from previous universities were accepted as transfer credits. The one exception is the graduate-level class I look at TAMUC during the Winter Mini term (doesn't show up anywhere in the website or my transcript). The transfer credits are capped at 90.
After getting accepted, I received an email with an activation code. Every time I tried entering the code into the activation website I was sent, I kept getting an error message telling me that my session had timed out. I was able to fix this by opening the page in Microsoft Edge (I was originally trying in Chrome).
Curious to see how this program goes. I'll be sure to document my experiences here!
