Creating Healthier Communities

JWU Charlotte students experience a truly interdisciplinary Health Science program, bringing together all of JWU’s curriculum resources while giving you flexibility to explore approaches to health and the healthcare industry. Gain knowledge that will help prepare you for an entry-level career in healthcare or for graduate studies in fields such as medicine, physical therapy, public health, occupational therapy or other healthcare-related studies.

Along with basic lab techniques, you will learn how to evaluate, present and analyze data while gaining the intervention skills set to examine populations, evaluate data, identify problems and develop solutions — all with a focus on taking care of people in a range of medical specialties. You are invited to present your findings to the public at the annual Student Research, Design and Innovation Symposium.

JWU’s personalized instruction and small class sizes mean that you will work closely with supportive, industry-knowledgeable faculty who take a personal interest in helping you prepare for wherever your future takes you. Having developed close relationships with local organizations such as Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center and Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center, our faculty have the connections to introduce you to the field and can help you develop your research skills through directed learning — or even the experience of publishing your findings in scientific literature.
