Health Sciences

Health Sciences majors will focus their studies in one of three program tracks:

• General Health Sciences
• Nutrition
• Neuroscience

Our unique emphasis on interdisciplinary study and tailored tracks, combined with personalized mentorship from Bryant’s expert faculty members, will give you the opportunity to explore different professions throughout the healthcare sector. 

As a Health Sciences major, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty on an independent research project or as a research assistant in one of Bryant’s state-of-the-art laboratories. Just a few of Bryant’s research opportunities include:

• Developing antibacterial compounds that hold promise in the fight against drug-resistant bacterial infections.
   
• Investigating measures to combat vaccine hesitancy through improved health communication strategies.
   
• Dissecting and mapping neural mechanism in fruit flies to better understand the underlying causes of addiction.

Stand out from the competition by presenting your research at regional and national conferences. This critical experience will serve as a major differentiator as you apply to graduate school or begin your career after graduation.

Bryant’s Health Sciences curriculum includes many of the required courses for admission to both clinical and non-clinical graduate programs. As a Health Sciences major, you’ll have the flexibility to explore a range of career options.

Additionally, Bryant’s Physician Assistant Studies program grants guaranteed interviews to Bryant undergraduate students who meet the admissions criteria. PA programs include competitive and rigorous requirements. As a Health Sciences major, you’ll be well-positioned with the courses and experience you need to pursue your MSPAS degree. Pending a successful interview, two seats per year are reserved for qualified Bryant undergraduates to the PA program.
