Bachelor’s program applications generally begin with the submission of a student’s high school transcript, letters of recommendation, and a statement of purpose. Students can research to see what the average GPA and standardized test score ranges are for a given school. Since health education bachelor's programs often lead to Bachelor of Science degrees, there are sometimes prerequisite courses required for admission. These generally cover introductory biology and physics, as well as statistics or introductory research courses in some cases. If a program is delivered in an online format, it may be intended to serve as a degree-completion program, in which case students will need community college or some other form of transfer credit. There are also Bachelor of Applied Sciences programs, which require students to have completed an associate degree in a related field.
