Troy University

What you'll study

This bachelor’s programme delivers a mix of foundational sciences, allied health core courses and applied clinical experiences. Students typically study human anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, pathophysiology, clinical pharmacology, and patient assessment to build medical knowledge. Diagnostic and treatment-focused modules may include foundations of diagnostic imaging, cardiovascular diagnostic methods, clinical laboratory principles, therapeutic interventions and rehabilitation concepts.

The curriculum normally includes coursework in healthcare ethics and law, evidence-based practice, healthcare informatics, and research methods to develop critical thinking and quality-improvement skills. Practical learning is emphasised through supervised clinical practicum or internship placements in hospitals, clinics and community health settings, plus a capstone project or seminar that integrates clinical reasoning and professional practice.

Entry requirements

• A completed secondary school qualification (or recognised equivalent) with a record of academic achievement; specific GPA expectations will depend on the admissions cycle.
• Prerequisite preparation in biology and chemistry is recommended; courses such as anatomy & physiology or introductory biology strengthen an application.
• Submission of official transcripts; transfer applicants should provide college transcripts and descriptions of prior coursework for credit evaluation.
• Evidence of English proficiency for applicants whose first language is not English (for example recognised test scores or university-approved alternatives).
• Students entering clinical components must meet professional requirements such as immunisations, background checks and, in some cases, a drug screen and basic life support (BLS/CPR) certification.
• Selection may consider personal statements, references, and relevant volunteer or work experience in healthcare settings.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared for a variety of roles across diagnostic, intervention and treatment areas of healthcare. Common career paths include allied health technologist roles in diagnostic imaging and cardiovascular diagnostics, positions in clinical laboratories, rehabilitation support roles and positions in outpatient or community-based treatment services.

The degree also provides a strong foundation for continued professional study — graduates often progress to graduate programmes such as physician assistant studies, physical therapy, occupational therapy, advanced practice nursing or clinical specialisations. Other career opportunities include healthcare administration, case management, clinical education, medical sales and roles in health information or quality improvement.
