Beloit College’s health sciences major offers a comprehensive foundation for students pursuing careers in nursing, physician assistant programs, physical therapy, medical school, and more.

What sets Beloit apart is its commitment to a holistic approach — one that goes beyond traditional science courses to truly understand the complex factors that shape health.

The health sciences major

The health sciences major combines essential courses in biology, chemistry, and psychology with an exploration of the social, environmental, and economic factors that influence health — like where people live, work, and the resources they have access to.

This unique perspective allows you to become a well-rounded healthcare professional, better equipped to understand and address the diverse needs of patients. Whether you pursue a career in direct patient care or health policy, this broader view will make you a more effective practitioner and a stronger job candidate.

Gain real-world experience

At Beloit, you’ll gain practical experience through hands-on simulations and partnerships with healthcare organizations in Beloit and the greater region.

These opportunities, including internships and clinical experiences, will bridge the gap between classroom learning and practice, ensuring you’re not only academically prepared but ready to succeed in the healthcare field.

A pathway for transfer students

Beloit College’s health sciences major is designed to support transfer students with degree completion programs for both the BSN and AAS tracks.

With this flexibility, you can complete your degree in as little as two or three years, getting you to your healthcare career faster and with the comprehensive preparation you need.
