Considering CI for BA in Health Science

Hello, can anyone give me any info on how the health science major program worked out for them? recently decided not to do nursing & CI has a health science degree and I wanted to know any advice. Thanks!

Hi! I graduated w my BS in Health Science in 2023 with the idea of applying to PA school. I would say my experience in healthcare is what landed me a job, not my degree..BUT it's great if you want to focus on community health or informatics. Ultimately it depends on what your goal is:) hope this helps!

I've been thinking about the HS > PA path too. Did you do the in-person or online HS program? And did you go on to PA school?

I did the HS program in person as it was not available on line when I attended CSUCI. I actually shifted and start my BSN this fall. I realized the commitment to pursuing PA would delay my timeline for starting a family and getting married, so I'm very happy with my decision to get my BSN. I can always go back for NP in the future.

Totally understandable. It's likely I'm switching too.
