Industry Outlook
Students who successfully complete our Associate of Health Science (Pre-Nursing) program are encouraged to apply to continue their education in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at South College. As the population ages and healthcare needs continue to rise, nurses have become even more essential to providing medical care in a variety of contexts. If you choose to pursue a career in nursing, you could join an exciting profession where every day is different—but each day involves combining scientific knowledge with compassionate care to improve the lives of your patients. If you decide not to pursue a BSN, you can pursue positions in the biological, life, or health sciences fields, including roles as a lab assistant, technician, or health office manager.
