Students who successfully complete our BS in Health Science (Pre-Physician Assistant) program are encouraged to apply to continue their education in the Master of Health Science in Physician Assistant Studies program at South College. Physician assistants are healthcare professionals certified to provide healthcare services under the supervision of a physician. They help to improve access to medical care by expanding a physician’s practice base, which is especially important in medically underserved areas. Many PAs are employed in primary care specialties, including family practice, pediatrics, and general medicine.

For students who do not pursue a master’s degree may choose to pursue opportunities in the biological, life, or health sciences, including in positions such as health administrator, environmental scientist or specialist, and biological technician.
