What can you do with a Health Sciences major?
In Health Sciences you can expect to study social, behavioral and natural sciences, biology, anatomy, genetics and so much more. Basically, Health Sciences is the broad study of the medical industry, its processes and how to apply these to support communities. If you are a self-starter, energetic, and possess strong leadership qualities and could see yourself working as a Health Educator, Community Health Specialist or Healthcare Administrator, then this might be the right major for you!

I went through some pretty heavy childhood trauma, and I coped by being a helper, a fixer, a tiny shoulder for the grownups in my life to cry and lean on. I was always told I had a way of making people around me feel better. Fast forward a decade and I'm in a high school nursing course. I immediately felt a click! But I have this thing about touching and being touched - I just... no. Not unless we're close, and even then I can be wary. So I knew no clinical care for me! Sadly, it took me a decade before I'd pursue a job in healthcare, but now I've worked in several departments and it's helped me kind of narrow down what I want to focus on. I'm blessed that my employer is sending me back to school with a full grant, and I am going for my degree in Healthcare Administration. It's with U of A instead of ASU (go Wildcats!), I'm about halfway through my degree progress and I found this video really helpful. It reminded me of my Why. It also reminded me to look at what the different classes have to offer me along my journey. I really appreciate that refocus!

[@MsDogleaf]

It sounds like you found something you enjoy I am exploring my options right now

[@Albacore877]

So glad you explored options to find out the pros and cons and ultimately, a good fit in Healthcare Administration w/no student loans!!! Best wishes!

[@allisonhughes5812]

I majored in Health Science and Policy at Brandeis, I highly recommend the program!!!

[@Danschumac]

Wish I had these videos before I went to school!

[@jmsl910]

FABULOUS overview!! ty

[@kristingordon1683]

If you're looking to study medicine at an associate or bachelor degree level, try medical laboratory science! It's a dwindling but very necessary field! We hlep in the diagnosis and treatment of patients without having to interact with the patients directly. We get to use microscopes and cutting-edge technology. If blood freaks you out it might not be the right track, but it is a very satisfying career.

[@chinosonwanebi2191]

Hey sorry to bother, but do you know any high paying jobs that require at most a masters with that major? I’m going to be a freshman in college next year, and I just picked that major because it sounded interesting, but I’m still not sure if that’s the one for me.

[@dennysdonuts4918]

@@chinosonwanebi2191 Clinical Lab Technician is a good one! I'm in for it and it makes 40 to 60 k (18 to 23 an hour) with the bare minimum, and the maximum is a bachelor's. You can move up in immunology and other things later if you want, but you don't need a master's in it.

[@kristingordon1683]

@@chinosonwanebi2191 HI! There are Master degree holders in the medical lab but they mostly specialize in microbiology and probably in places that do transplants and other specialized departments. I'm not sure what the salary would be. I have an associate degree and travel the Midwest making roughly 100k/year as a generalist.

[@TimTim__]

@@dennysdonuts4918 but scientists are mostly short-staffed which is why they burn out soon. From the perspective of work-life balance, may be CLS isn’t a great option.

[@caposolomon8745]

Health Science is the easy version of Biology degree. A lot of people that was struggling with bio degree or students that want to have fun and not stressed out all the time pick this major over biology. Health Science is an easy degree to get if you might still want to go to medical or other graduate level graduate school. Most people will simply take the missing pre-rec courses later if they do decide to go that route.

[@Andp4503]

Bingo.

[@rodthegreat5083]

Maybe in Undergrad lol 😂🤷🏽‍♂ In Grad school it's the opposite!

[@SamanthaTallman]

7:50 Is the exact dilemma I am currently in. 😭 I finished my Bachelors of Health Sciences degree and really don't want to get into more schooling.. but I can't seem to find a single well-paying career that requires just a Bachelors of Health Sciences degree (because they all require more schooling) so now I'm stuck. 😔

[@dennysdonuts4918]

Can you be a laboratory technician? There's an exam and if you have enough expirence you may be able to take it without a specific program but I'm just a freshman so IDK if you're allowed or can but it pays well

[@iamseger]

Bro I have F1 interview please help

Good video I don’t get the conceptions of Med school but I do know it has much to do with how Health Science has developed.

[@mediocreclementine7649]

Awesome video!! Have you guys thought of doing one for lab medicine? I'm a recent grad and it seems like it's a field that nobody I know/knew in college knows about as an option to study!

[@dennysdonuts4918]

I'm in for clinical lab science and oh my God, there's so little info

[@hannahlatham9208]

@@dennysdonuts4918 this is one of my second options for school is I can't get into radiology, and I cannot see much info on this 😔

[@eininw]

This! An ER can't be open without a supporting lab and imaging professionals. Allied health, in general, could use a lot more publicity. The people who perform diagnostic procedures (lab, imaging, pathology, etc.) are just as needed as the diagnosers and caretakers. We're also experiencing a critical shortage of staffing too.

[@MsDogleaf]

Thank you I did not know that was a major

[@aminatadarboe4377]

This is giving me a courage to study health science

[@jaceybest5254]

Can you please do a video on Kinesiology?

[@Andp4503]

I'm about to wrap this degree up at ASU specifically. 7:51 is 100% accurate. DO NOT get this degree without a plan/hoping to get a job with it alone. I'm going to be using it with an MSW. I think people misunderstand what this degree really is, it's a complimentary knowledge degree, not something that teaches you skills to outright get work. There's exceptions, but be realistic.

[@abigayleburton1319]

Can you do Healthcare administration? Thanks.

[@zachlovesfitness8485]

I majored in health science and am currently trying to peruse occupational therapy. Overall it’s a pretty chill degree with the expectations of anatomy and pys😅 but it’s a good gateway to grad school programs

[@JoseMartinez-fg2xp]

Though one is not intended to cure or prevent illness I feel like health science is more showing how to be giving the Treatments so that overtime it reduces How Long it takes for somebody to be cured or how long the illness can span. And not how to detect the Infection

[@JoseMartinez-fg2xp]

And how soon the treatment must be given to a Seeing at what rate does the treatment work and seeing the symptoms go away.

yesss this!! i would loooveee to know what options there could be that i might not even have thought of!

[@micahlewis6604]

I second that

[@brendandsouza4958]

[@danielmccullough3833]

Pre med is not a major, it's a set of prerequisite science courses meant to prepare you for the MCAT and medical school applications.

[@wht5764]

I'm actually using this degree path as a pre med option

[@nahi.03]

Can we have a video on nutrition plesse

[@Noskah]

This doesn’t really go over how many different careers you could obtain with this degree. It’s almost completely interchangeable with a healthcare administration degree. I plan on going into sales of surgical technology or pharmaceutical sales. Which make a lot more in income then the examples used in this video

[@jilliansmith1979]

you were a health science major? were you able to find a job out of college?

I'm considering a public health degree and this looks to essentially be the same, though I'm finding information saying they're different. Anyone know if they're actually interchangeable? 👀

[@bintisf]

They’re not the same, public health focuses much more on administrative and statistics whereas Health Sciences is more broad and focuses more on humanities

I want to be an RN? Would health science be a good foundation to start with?

[@ninyqin7086]

No, ADN would be better

[@Andp4503]

Nursing is very stringent with their academic path. You must complete a BSN basically. Lots of schools will require certain classes to be done prior to applying to BSN programs too, which health sciences wouldn't aid you with.

[@soulfullportrait147]

@@Andp4503 I actually ended up taking a special type of associates program for health science that is pre-nursing classes and nursing classes. I graduate in October and my BSN will only take 2 years instead of 4 due to me having half my classes already finished. Been doing well with a 4.0 gpa, just finished A/P 2 and am in Pathophysiology and Chemistry. Was really cheap to. 😊

Yeesh. “Health Science” is not a real field, and this video basically admits as much. If you already have a two year degree in something like Radiologic Technology or Respiratory Therapy to build on, then Health Science might be an easy 4 year degree if you’re looking to check that box.

Does it contain being nutritionist ?? Please answer my questions ❤️‍🩹

[@staywoke9238]

I'm starting health science. I have 2 nutrition courses. If I wanted to be a nutritionist, I could use these courses to count towards any separate extra schooling required. I couldn't be certified as a nutritionist just because I took those 2 courses though. Get what I mean? Have a good day.
