Are you interested in health science colleges? Get started on a career in health care with a Health Science degree from South University’s Health Science program. The overall objective of our four-year Health Science Bachelor of Science degree program is to provide a firm foundation for entry-level employment in a range of positions in the healthcare industry at: health practitioners’ offices; hospitals; home health care services; outpatient care services; nursing care facilities; health insurance companies; and state and government healthcare programs.
The core curriculum in the first two years of the Health Science program is designed to give you a foundation in the humanities, math, and science. During the second two years, the curriculum provides for a broad focus on business basics, the healthcare delivery system, public health, and the medical office.
Completion of the first two years of the Health Science degree may provide students with the required prerequisite courses to apply for professional programs such as the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. However, admission to these programs is competitive at most institutions (including South University) and is not guaranteed. Students interested in transferring credit must consult with the institution that they wish to attend in order to determine if courses will transfer. This consultation should occur prior to taking the courses. Please be aware that some institutions will not accept online science and laboratory courses for transfer credit.
