The College of Health Science is the "gold standard” in providing the most desirable training for quality preparation of health care professionals.

College of Health Sciences Mission

The College of Health Sciences provides an academically challenging, values based environment that prepares learners to be critically thinking health care professionals who become global citizens, effective communicators, and responsible leaders in the context of our Christian heritage.

College of Health Sciences Description

The College of Health Sciences was created in 2007 to address a rapidly growing need in the Health Care industry for increased workforce and educational opportunities that support advancement. The Pre-Medicine, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Physical Therapy, and Pre- Physician Assistant programs prepare students to be the best possible applicants for graduate study and eventual entrance into some of the highest paying and most prestigious positions in the health care industry. Programs such as Athletic Training, Exercise Science, Health Care Administration, and Counseling provide students with the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to seek licensure (if necessary) and begin practice in their discipline immediately following graduation. Degree completion programs in the areas of Addiction Counseling, Health Sciences, Medical Imaging, and Respiratory Care provide associate degree prepared practitioners a means to apply their previous education towards attainment of a baccalaureate degree, thus positioning them for employment advancement opportunities and the ability to pursue graduate level studies. 

The College of Health Science exemplifies a premier education at a private Christian university where quality instruction and student learning are the sole objectives. With class sizes of less than 30 to 1 and instructors that are dedicated solely to the highest quality instruction and success of students, the college provides the best possible learning environment and opportunity for mastery of course material. In addition to the quality learning environment provided by the college in each course, faculty and staff work closely with students outside of the classroom to create a supportive extracurricular environment focused on students’ personal growth, career development, and extracurricular skill development. Graduates from the College of Health Sciences at Grand Canyon University can be confident that they have received a premier level of academic achievement and personal support in the nation, providing them with the knowledge and values necessary to be among the top critically thinking health care professionals, global citizens, effective communicators, and responsible leaders.

Our Commitment

The College of Health Sciences is committed to providing rigorous programs that focus on preparing the healthcare professionals of the future. Through small class sizes and mentoring by faculty members, we provide a learning environment which is both challenging and nurturing. Our goal is to train knowledgeable healthcare professionals who possess critical thinking and leadership skills within the framework of Christian values.
