Health Sciences

There is a health science field for every interest and personality.

Make an Impact in Healthcare

Healthcare is one of today's most dynamic and growing fields. It is the largest industry in the U.S., and the second largest employer - with more than 11 million jobs - presenting a wide range of career opportunities and challenges.

Professionals of health science work in hospitals, government offices, laboratories, private research centers, dental offices, pharmaceutical companies, and public agencies, to name a few. You may choose to work hands-on with patients or concentrate on research. You may decide that nursing is a good fit or realize that more holistic, alternative medicines intrigue you. Whatever the case, it all starts here!

Available Programs

Health

Become a professional trainer, wellness coach, or community health worker. Or start here and go on to pursue careers such as nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, dietetics, physician's assistant, and medicine.
