The Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences (BSHS) highlights an interdisciplinary education to enable students to identify healthcare issues by integrating multiple perspectives. The program provides a solid foundation of general education, health-related science, and in-depth social, economic, and political aspects of health and healthcare delivery, with a strong emphasis on critical thinking and problem-solving skills, enabling students to master a wide range of health-related concepts.
The Health Sciences major prepares students for careers within the healthcare industry by building comprehensive knowledge and skills needed to address the complex issues that affect today’s dynamic health science environments and to promote the improvement of overall health outcomes.
Why Study Health Sciences at Saint Peter’s?
A key benefit of a health sciences degree is that it reveals and highlights the multiple aspects of healthcare, far broader than the technical training required to pursue a career as a healthcare provider, as reported by U.S. News in June 2020.
At Saint Peter’s, the Health Sciences major instills the ideals of ethical, compassionate, and comprehensive care because the foundation of our program is in the core Jesuit values of cura personalis and men and women for others. As Saint Peter’s continues to be a transformative, minority-serving institution, working towards social justice and implementing real change, our program is designed for students who want to make a difference in local and global communities.
