The School of Health Professions’ Health Science major provides a cutting-edge curriculum that keeps pace with the evolving healthcare industry. This well-rounded education incorporates ethics, cultural humility, communication, critical thinking, evidence-based practice, and scholarship. Through experiential, collaborative, and inclusive pedagogy, the program fosters the knowledge, skills, and competencies essential for success in either the workforce or professional graduate programs. The major serves three student cohorts: pre-health students pursuing health-related clinical graduate programs (DPT, OTD, Medical school, PA, SLP, PA, AHI, etc.), students in the five-year pathway for radiation therapy, radiologic technology, or medical dosimetry, and individuals balancing entry-level healthcare employment with part-time enrollment in health-related, non-clinical graduate studies.

Your college decision isn't really about the next four years. We get it. It’s about what doors are opened by your degree and whether those opportunities are what you had envisioned for yourself. Nearly 95% of SBU grads are employed or go to professional or graduate school. Here's a snapshot of what life after graduation looks like for some of them.
