Earning a master's in physician assistant studies is an exciting path to becoming
a medical professional who works alongside doctors to diagnose, treat, and care for
patients.
The CBU College of Health Science was founded upon the principle of transforming lives
through the health professions. The college's faculty members have answered their
calling to serve and prepare the next generation of professionals for careers in patient
care, wellness, fitness and more. We all share a passion for service in the image
of Jesus, and we welcome you to come explore your talents and calling from God.
The College of Health Science offers an array of associate's, bachelor's and master's
degrees tailored to prepare students for in-demand careers within healthcare. Our
curriculum integrates essential concepts such as patient-centered care, evidence-based
practice and interprofessional collaboration to foster well-rounded healthcare professionals.
Students gain hands-on experience ensuring they are well-equipped to excel in fields
such as athletic training, public health and radiology.
Health science students will have the opportunity to engage in a rich educational
experience based on the pillars of relationship and service. Field experience opportunities
allow students to become involved in the clinical nature of the health professions,
further strengthening the theoretical concepts of holistic care covered in the classroom.
We are proud to be a premier regional provider of health professions training and
we want you to join us! I hope you will contact me soon so we can begin a dialogue
about how God will use you to serve others.

CBU's kinesiology department has state-of-the-art equipment to measure oxygen levels,
cardiac outcomes, muscle function, immune parameters and environmental extremes. In
the exercise physiology lab, there is a treadmill big enough for 6 people to run at
the same time.
Students learn on state-of-the-art radiology equipment compatible with the equipment
used in the field. Labs used in the radiologic sciences program are licensed to conduct
radiology exams and procedures.
The state-of-the-art Food Innovation Center is the focal point of CBU's nutrition
and food services program and is used as a laboratory for students, for service projects
and for food industry research and development.
A significant focus of the athletic training program is manual therapy and functional
movement through treatment approaches and instruction. Faculty expertise and clinical
exposure encourage the growth and development of CBU athletic trainers in areas beyond
the minimum requirements of the Board of Certification examination.

and Colleges Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC). Regional accreditation
