Entry-Level Masters and Undergrad ATEP at 1 school

I am currently enrolled in a MS Health Sciences program at IUPUI (Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis) which also offers a BS Health Sciences degree.  The purpose of the program is to develop the ability to teach or be a program director for an allied health sciences field.  The program is designed for either allied health professionals that only require a BS degree to teach (like paramedics, dental assisting, dental hygenist, radiology tech., etc.) or for allied health professionals that require a MS degree to teach (like nursing, OT, athletic training, etc.) ; If you are a MS student, it requires more work and a higher level of work that the BS level.  The classes are listed at both undergrad and graduate level in the School of Health and Rehab Sciences that also houses the OT program, dietetic program and DPT programs. I have seen nothing but success with the program.  I don't believe there are really any drawbacks.  It increases the number of students that can take the program, where either program by itself would be limited.  As long as all students have met the basic prerequisites, I think it would work well for AT programs.
