Overview

At Health Science at Saginaw Valley State University attracts a diverse, enthusiastic community of learners and leaders. You’re a dreamer perceiving yourself as someone who revolutionizes healthcare and human services, connects and guides patients, or contributes to the latest medical innovations. You’re an advocate acknowledging that healthcare access remains unequal and passionately assisting others in receiving services. You’re an aspiring researcher who realizes that data fuels progress and new ideas. Collectively, our department is captivated by what the medical field can do from clinical and administrative angles and seeks to transform the world through that knowledge.

Considering the spectrum of outcomes, the BS in Health Science degree prepares you for a graduate program of study and eventually a more specialized career through an integrated blend of engaging classroom instruction, unique study abroad opportunities, hands-on internships, fieldwork, and on-campus experiential learning through the state-of-the-art Simulation Center, a controlled environment with the goal of strengthening interpersonal communication and improving patient safety. This format provides a broad, multi-sided perspective of health and human services on local, national, and international levels, including the US healthcare system and principles and policies of public health; opens up the chance for undergraduate students to participate in rewarding research; lets you receive guidance and mentorship from published faculty members; and helps you narrow down your career goals through a comprehensive introduction.
