Bachelor’s Degrees
Throughout the academic program, advising services and career support and information are available to help students select which bachelor’s degree to pursue that is consistent with their interests, skills and career aspirations.
The following policies pertain to declaring and completing a bachelor’s degree program at University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis:
- Students will declare their interest in one of the available bachelor’s degree programs on the application to the University.
- By the end of the spring semester of the sophomore year, students will formally declare the bachelor’s degree program they want to complete. Students who transfer directly into the junior year must formally declare upon admission to the bachelor’s degree program they want to complete.
- Students may earn only one bachelor’s degree at the University. Students may switch academic programs if desired but should understand that this may lengthen the time required to complete an undergraduate degree. Students who opt to switch academic programs must have a written plan in place that is approved by their academic advisor. The plan must articulate how the student will successfully complete all degree requirements.
- Students may double major. If a double major is elected, students must fulfill the degree requirements for both majors. It is not possible to choose more than two majors for one degree. Students must select a primary major and secondary major (both of which must fall under the same degree type; B.A. or B.S.). The primary major will indicate the awarding College and order listed on the transcript and diploma. Students requesting to double major must have at least sophomore standing and must formally declare the double major prior to the beginning of their planned final semester of study. Please note that the completion of a double major may result in extended time to graduation, and that students must complete the course requirements for both majors before a degree will be awarded. Students always have the option of dropping the double major and completing only one major to earn the degree and can do this by contacting the Office of the Registrar.
- Students transferring into the undergraduate program must complete 48 credit hours at the University and complete all requirements of the bachelor’s program to earn an undergraduate degree from the University.
- A Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) from UHSP will contain area-specific courses at the 300-level or above that provide opportunities for a broad study of the scholarship and methods in the field(s) as an emphasis or to support exploration within the discipline. The general education requirements are identical in both B.A. and B.S. programs.
- A Bachelor of Science (B.S.) from UHSP will contain area-specific courses at the 300-level or above that allow for pursuit of experiential courses or research within the discipline. The general education requirements are identical in both B.A. and B.S. programs.
- A student may be awarded a minor from the College of Arts and Sciences or the College of Global Population Health along with completion of a bachelor’s degree. Minors allow students to explore topics of interest more deeply to compliment the student’s major.

Minors
A minor in the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Global Population Health will have between 15 and 24 credit hours with 6 credits or more at the 300-level or above. You must earn a minimum 2.0 GPA in all courses required for the minor.
Minors must be completed simultaneously with an undergraduate major degree program. A minor may not be completed by itself, independent of a major program. This means you cannot earn a minor after you have already earned your bachelor’s degree. You need at least one active major in order to pursue a minor.
Also be aware that since the minor must be completed with a major, any outstanding minor requirements will prevent the awarding of the degree for your major. If you ultimately decide to graduate without the minor, the minor must be removed from your records before your degree can be processed.
A minor must be declared prior to the beginning of the final semester of study and must be awarded at the same time a bachelor’s degree is awarded and will be posted on your transcript.
