Health Sciences Degrees—RU Ready to Thrive?

Gain the industry knowledge and transferable skills you need to make a difference in people’s health and well-being. Online, on campus or blended, these Health Sciences programs and training help you take the next step in becoming the professional you were meant to be. With over 20 years designing and teaching online courses, we’re not new to online education. You’ll have the support, learning options and online mentoring you need to balance work, life and school.

Not Sure Which Health Sciences Program Is Right for You?

A good place to start is to ask yourself what aspects of healthcare interest you most and the type of allied health professional you'd like to become. If you want to work directly with patients, you may be interested in Health Sciences courses to build skills for a Medical Assisting, Medical Lab Technician, Pharmacy Technician, Physical Therapist Assistant, Radiologic Technology or Surgical Technologist role.

Or, if you are interested in working indirectly with patients, but still want to help improve patient care, you can pursue a degree in Health Information Management, Health Information Technician, Health Sciences, Medical Administrative Assistant and Medical Billing and Coding. If you’ve always been interested in social wellness, our Human Services and Health and Wellness programs may be a great fit for you.
