The sciences are important at a Christian college because they prepare students to thoughtfully question, investigate and discuss God’s general revelation, our natural world, and apply this learning to better understand the important and sometimes controversial topics in today’s modern culture.

– Dr. Noel Brownlee, Professor of Health Science 

Degree Details: B.S. or B.A. in Health Science

Within the major, you can choose to earn either a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts.

  • The B.S. prepares you for careers involving scientific research or for advanced studies in allied healthcare. Candidates for the B.S. degree take 17 hours of Health Science courses, 16 hours of Biology, and four hours of Chemistry.
  • The B.A. is ideal if you plan to enter a health profession that does not require a doctoral degree, or if you intend to enter healthcare fields such as teaching, management, or administration.

Erskine’s program is intensely practical. During your sophomore and junior years, you will complete a total of 100 hours supervised field experience, paired with professionals in your area of career interest. In addition to field work, the program allows you to explore research methods in your future profession and gives you practical experience in writing for the health science field. At Erskine, you will receive mentoring from your professors and from professionals in the field, equipping you for further studies and for your future career.
