Bachelor of Science - Healthcare Sciences - Pre-Physician Assistant

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Healthcare Sciences program at the Ila Faye Miller School of Nursing and Health Professions at the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) is designed to be a pathway for students wishing to continue into professional graduate programs in athletic training, physical therapy, medical school, occupational therapy and physician assistant areas. The curriculum structure and content give the graduate a strong foundation and credentials to embark on other careers in advanced healthcare settings or to enter the workforce as entry-level technicians in healthcare settings.

Students interested in pursuing a professional degree in other health profession fields may select a concentration they feel is the most appropriate to their professional goals, and an individualized advising plan may be necessary.
