Welcome to Health Science

Jobs in health and human services are now available in the Catawba Valley area. With a population growth greater than the state average, the need for employees is also expected to increase in the future.

Individuals choosing this field of employment should have an appreciation for human life, enjoy working with people of all ages, and be interested in the application of biological and scientific principles.

In providing instruction for curricula in this division, numerous community resources are used. Students will spend time in clinical facilities, hospitals, and other locations gaining skills through first-hand experience under the direction of competent professionals.

Graduates of health and human resources associate degree programs may seek immediate employment or some credits may transfer to some four year colleges or universities. Students who are interested in pursuing a four year degree should contact their advisor or Student Services for specific information.
