This map represents one example of how to complete the AAS and BSHS degrees. Students should refer to the LCCC Catalog and CSU Catalog for requirements, course sequencing, and other degree information, as well as work closely with counselors/advisors at both institutions to discuss options. To further discuss the Bachelor of Science in health Sciences requirement, please contact Cleveland State’s College of Health Student Services office at COHadvising@csuohio.edu.
