University of Findlay

What you'll study

The Health degree combines core biological and behavioural sciences with courses in healthcare delivery, prevention and applied skills. Typical modules include human anatomy and physiology, microbiology, medical terminology, nutrition, pathophysiology, epidemiology and public health principles. Research methods and biostatistics prepare students to interpret clinical data and undertake evidence‑based projects.

Applied learning is emphasised through clinical skills labs, health assessment, patient communication and community health experiences. Most students complete a practicum or internship with a local hospital, clinic or public health agency and a culminating capstone project or senior seminar that integrates clinical, ethical and management perspectives.

Entry requirements

Applicants should hold a high school diploma or equivalent. Competitive applicants typically present a solid academic record with stronger performance in science and maths courses—such as biology and chemistry—alongside a cumulative GPA that meets the university’s undergraduate admission standards. Admissions may require a completed application form, academic transcripts, a personal statement and one or more references.

Specific programmes or intended professional tracks may expect prerequisite coursework (for example, general chemistry and biology) and some experience in healthcare settings. Transfer applicants are assessed on collegiate transcripts; prior college credit in relevant science and general education courses can reduce time to degree. International applicants must demonstrate English proficiency in line with university policy.

Career prospects

Graduates of the Health bachelor's programme move into a wide range of entry‑level roles across healthcare, community organisations and research settings or continue to postgraduate professional training. Typical job titles include health educator, clinical research coordinator, patient care coordinator, health services assistant, community health worker and health programme coordinator.

The degree is also a common pathway into professional programmes such as physician assistant studies, physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, medical school and public health graduate degrees. Alumni employment pathways frequently leverage the programme’s practicum placements and local clinical partnerships to secure internships and graduate training opportunities.
