Program Overview
AN EXCELLENT CAREER OUTLOOK and a variety of specializations makes pursuing a degree in healthcare very appealing — but whenever you speak to a Health Science major at JWU, it’s their passion that really stands out. You’ll see it in their eyes, and hear it in their voice, they are determined to achieve their potential. A potential for creating healthier communities, at the local, national, and global level.
Johnson & Wales students forge their own unique paths in health and wellness. This truly interdisciplinary program brings together all of the resources of the university curriculum, giving you flexibility to explore approaches to health and the healthcare industry.
After you learn the basic sciences that relate to health and wellness, you could explore courses in nutrition, exercise science, psychology, sociology, public health and economics to name a few, as you discover each subject’s importance to patient-centered, humanistic healthcare delivery.
Our size matters. Our small class sizes mean you will work closely with faculty, who take a personal interest in helping you prepare for wherever your future takes you.
This program is available in Providence and Charlotte.
