Exit Survey
The exit survey should take about 15 minutes complete. It’s an opportunity for students to evaluate the program: the curriculum as a whole, individual courses, program personnel, and their overall experience in the Health Science major. The exit survey also captures where our students are in the graduate/professional school application process.
