Optional BSHS Medical Spanish Concentration
The Medical Spanish concentration within the health science and healthcare and business majors would not add additional required hours for graduation, rather it would focus many elective choices into one area. The courses you choose for your concentration (from the list below) will contribute to your BSHS electives requirement.
Students pursuing this concentration must successfully complete:
The minimum number of credit hours for the Health Science major (BSHS degree) is 122.
Per university requirements, a minimum of 40 credit hours must be at the 300 level or above.
And for students transferring into Butler from another university, at least 45 credit hours of coursework must be successfully completed here to earn a Butler degree.
