CHART YOUR OWN COURSE TO A FULFILLING HEALTHCARE CAREER

Our Bachelor of Science in Health Science offers students a broad overview of our healthcare system while preparing its students for careers in health care administrative fields and master’s level practitioner programs, such as Communication Sciences and Disorders, Dietetics and Nutrition, Physical and Occupational Therapy, Optometry, and other healthcare fields.

ADD OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERIENCES

As health science students progress through the program they are able to take advantage of small class sizes (20–30 students in major courses), close relationships with health science faculty and advisors, and peer tutoring support for all science courses. In their senior year, all health science students participate in a field experience supported by Pace University’s Career Services department. Through this field experience, students may participate in internships at area healthcare facilities or research in their field.
