Integrated Health Sciences Honors Track

This Honors Track program is designed for future occupational and physical therapists, physician assistants, nurses, I-O psychologists, mental health counselors, and speech language pathologists who are—though still in high school or have not yet started their college careers—committed to a profession in the Health Sciences.

Acceptance into the Integrated Health Sciences Honors Track conditionally reserves a spot in Touro’s School of Health Sciences. Students who demonstrate exceptional academic ability and commitment to pursue a career in health sciences are encouraged to apply.
