WHERE WELLNESS MEETS PURPOSE

If you have an interest in personal fitness and nutrition or promoting the health and well-being of patients/clients through education, exercise, rehabilitation or sports medicine then a degree in Health Science is perfect for you! A degree in Health Science allows you to earn specialized certifications and complete coursework that prepares you for a career in fitness or human performance or entrance into professional healthcare and graduate programs such as athletic training, dietetics, exercise physiology, physical therapy and public health.

The C-SC Difference

The Health Sciences major at Culver-Stockton College greatly prepared me to continue on to a Master’s program. The hands-on learning experiences gave me new ways and opportunities to learn the material. The Health Sciences faculty also benefitted me greatly; they provided me with tremendous amounts of support and guidance throughout my undergraduate career. The individualized attention and personal connections made with all my professors and faculty members made a positive impact on my academic journey and have shaped me into the student and person I am now.
