We’re a nationally accredited school that offers a Bachelor of Health Science (BHSc) in five professional disciplines: Diagnostic Cytology, Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Radiological Technology, and Respiratory Therapy. We also offer Medical Laboratory Technology in the Post Diploma program. We’re the only fully integrated four-year university-based program of this kind in Canada. Our tight-knit programs foster teamwork, mutual respect, and continuous personal and professional development. And while we prepare you for a successful career in health care, you enjoy the benefits of the entire university experience. Since the classes are small, not only will you get to know your fellow students well, you’ll be on a first-name basis with our faculty. Our partnership with the QEII Health Sciences Centre—the largest academic health sciences centre in Atlantic Canada—allows you to get out of the classroom and into the clinical setting, starting in your first semester.

Graduates of the School of Health Sciences are in demand and are highly valued. To handle the increasing health-care needs of the Canadian population, educated professionals are required to work in the fields of cytology, ultrasound, radiological technology, nuclear medicine, and respiratory therapy. You may find yourself working in a large hospital or a small clinic, dealing directly with patients or working in a lab. Or you could take a different route and end up in a career with a pharmaceutical company, a government agency, or even teaching the next generation of Health Sciences students.
