The College of Nursing and Health Sciences is unlike any other in the Southwest. Our exceptional curriculum fuses academic and clinical rigor with Christian values to prepare you as a skilled, caring professional who will excel in meeting the challenges of a rapidly changing health care setting.
 Nursing:
- Become a NURSE and make a difference in the lives of others. Students who plan to become professional registered nurses (RN) can enter as freshman to begin the pre-requisites (or come later with transfer hours) for the nursing major. They will earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree and be prepared for an exciting health care career. Our program's focus on leading, critical thinking, teaching and meeting spiritual needs fosters quality development of each student. Approximately thirty students are admitted to the major each Fall and Spring and begin clinical practice in the very first semester with nurse faculty in groups of 10 or fewer. Ask any nurse....we are proud of our graduates! (We also have an accelerated evening program for nurses who are already licensed R.N.'s but would like to complete their Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree in as little as 57 weeks. You can see further information on this program by clicking here: RN/B option.)
- Our traditional BSN program includes five semesters of clinical coursework to develop the student's skills from the beginning health care level to the professional level and to instill and develop leadership skills appropriate to the role of nurse in today's health care system.
- As a result of rigorous training and hard work, our students have an exceptional record of success on the NCLEX-RN, the RN licensure examination. While we cannot guarantee employment after graduation, traditionally our graduates have been highly recruited by health care facilities.
- Students wishing admission to the College of Nursing and Health Sciences must first be admitted to Grand Canyon University.
Health Sciences:
- The College of Health Sciences has a wide range of undergraduate degrees to choose from. Students can earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, with an emphasis in Pre-Medicine, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Physician Assistant, Pre-Physical Therapy or Pre-Occupational Therapy. These degrees prepare our students to enter graduate schools to complete their medical education. Also we have available a Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training, Corporate Fitness and Wellness, Physical Education and Recreation. In addition, a Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Science is offered, along with B.S. degree completion programs for Medical Imaging, Respiratory Care and Health Science. Among our newest programs, we offer both a Bachelor of Science and a Masters of Science in Addiction Counseling and a Masters of Science in Professional Counseling. Both the Counseling programs and the Medical Imaging programs have several Certificates of Completion offered.
The College of Health Sciences is committed to providing a rigorous program to train 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.
