Why study health sciences at Northwestern?

Under the guidance of Christian professors who are scientific experts, you will grow spiritually as you come to better know the Creator through His design of human beings. This degree prepares students for careers as Physician Assistant, Occupational or Physical Therapy, and Nurse Practitioner among other options.

Faculty are able to teach students to care for the general public as Christian leaders in the medical field because we offer small class sizes where students get to know them personally. With campus so close to downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, students can take advantage of opportunities in Minnesota’s thriving healthcare and health science industries.

If you are a caring person with a passion for helping people who are suffering, interested in health and wellness, want to make a difference in the lives of all of God’s people, and are interested in a career in medicine, laboratory research, public health, or other scientific fields, this might be the right degree for you.
