Many allied health programs are changing to graduate programs and require a baccalaureate degree for admission into the program. Therefore, students are strongly encouraged to complete a B.S. in biology (or another appropriate discipline) before applying to a allied health professions program. However, the Division offers coursework that prepares students for admission to upper-level courses at a university with an accredited program toward an undergraduate degree in an allied health field. Allied Health offerings at Kentucky State University include pre-physical therapy, pre-cytotechnology, pre-nuclear medicine technology, pre-optometry, and pre-pharmacy.
