What You’ll Study
There are many ways to prepare for a career in healthcare. A degree in health sciences gives you plenty of opportunity to explore the many ways to keep the body healthy from the physiological to the psychological. You will also learn the ins and outs of the healthcare system and public health initiatives. Through your studies, you will encounter ethical dilemmas and work with your classmates and professors to create ethical paths forward.
Built on a strong liberal arts and science foundation, you will choose between a healthcare studies track or a bioscience track. To help you solidify your track, you will complete at least two internships to help you define and refine your future goals. By providing you with multiple opportunities to put your learning to action, you will graduate more confident about the direction you choose and more prepared to improve the communities in which you live, work, and serve.
