The health sciences major is new in Fall 2022! Health Science expands upon the College’s current offerings to give students a preparatory advantage as they take post-graduate steps towards a career in healthcare. This major is designed to support multiple career tracks, in addition to the current selection of pre-professional programs the college offers. Health Science tracks include pharmacy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, physician assistant, and nurse practitioner. Students will take courses across the sciences including in mathematics, psychology, chemistry, and biology. The interdisciplinary structure of the major will benefit students by including a variety of pre-requisite courses often needed for post-graduate education.
Those interested in learning more about the major may contact Chief Health Professions Advisor and Chemistry Professor Carolyn Weinreb.
Required courses for the majors, and each track, can be found in the College Catalog.
While the major is new at Saint Anselm, our students have attended programs at University of New England, Springfield College, Northeastern University, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, and American International College among many others.

"Saint Anselm could not have prepared me better for my future career as a physical therapist. During my time there I was challenged, supported, and really taught how to think critically. My experiences in the classroom, volunteering as much as possible, and my time on the football field all helped me become the person and future professional I am today. Saint Anselm gave me the skills I need to pursue the career that I am passionate about."
