The rehabilitative services track in the BHS program prepares graduates to work in a variety of rehabilitation-related occupations where they can advance the independence, integration and full participation of individuals with disabilities and others with service needs in the work force and community.

The rehabilitative services program is designed to prepare students to

• Develop skills, knowledge and values that enable them to provide quality rehabilitation services.
• Empower consumers in the development of their personal and vocational resources.
• Participate as an integral member of multidisciplinary networks providing services to consumers.
• Develop a commitment to lifelong learning and professional growth.
• Receive a sound preparation for graduate education in rehabilitation fields.
• Become informed citizens supportive of individuals with disabilities.

Opportunities have expanded for human-service providers who coordinate and manage services in state and federal service agencies, rehabilitation facilities, correctional programs, youth centers and centers responding to the aging population, public assistance programs and other community service organizations.

Graduates may supervise service activities, conduct intake interviews, manage community services and facilitate job re-entry and other social services activities.

The applicant must have a 2.7 overall GPA and 2.7 prerequisite GPA based on six semester hours in psychology (general psychology and either abnormal or developmental psychology), and biology. The applicant also is encouraged to have volunteer experience in a human service setting.

Enrollment is based on space available in existing facilities. Admission to the college is considered separately from admission to UF. Students are admitted in summer and fall. The application deadlines are February 1 for consideration for summer admission, and March 1 for consideration for fall admission. Students submitting application materials after the deadline will be considered on a space available basis. The Bachelor of Health Science degree is awarded upon satisfactory completion of the course requirements.

The following course sequence permits completion of General Education requirements and rehabilitative services prerequisites. The rehabilitative services track does not accept AP, IB, or CLEP credit for prerequisite courses. Consult a college adviser for a specific schedule.

In order to be ‘on track’ for this program, a student must meet the critical-tracking criteria listed below each semester of enrollment beginning with the first fall term. Students must remain on track for each subsequent fall and spring term for a total of four semesters in order to be considered for admission at the junior level. Students also must submit a college application.

Note: Transfer students also must apply to UF. Off-track UF freshmen and sophomores must speak with a college adviser before registering for the next semester.
