Online Health & Medical Sciences Degree Programs

Much has been made of the boom in health and medical science careers. Seven of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Ten Fastest Growing Jobs' are healthcare-related: physician assistants, medical assistants, physical therapists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and home care aides. An online degree in health and medical sciences offers a solid introduction to the health and medical field. For some, the degree offers a foundation for continuing professional medical training; for others, it leads directly to an entry-level position in the healthcare industry.

The Health and Medical Sciences curriculum begins with a broad undergraduate education in liberal arts and sciences before turning to a particular field of study. Students can specialize in fields such as alternative medicine, clinical laboratory science, dental hygiene, health information technology, healthcare administration, pharmacy, radiological science, respiratory therapy, nursing, nutrition, and much more.

Health and medical science graduates are already experiencing the effects of an extremely favorable job market. Graduates can head directly into the workplace upon graduation, where salaries begin in the $30,000 range, with advancement to $55,000 after some work experience. Or they can head into graduate and professional programs, increasing their earning potential even more. While no education program can guarantee future salary or employment, health and medical science graduates can expect plentiful job opportunities and rising salaries, as medical facilities compete to attract qualified personnel.
