Program background

NAU has been offering on-campus degree programs in Health Sciences related areas for over 50 years. With initial funding for the development of this Distance Learning program from the US Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, the Health Sciences department began offering the online degree in Health Sciences in Fall 2000 with its first 5 students. By Spring 2010 over 408 students were enrolled in this program from more than 20 states and 21 different allied health areas.

"This program has been of tremendous value not only for me but also for my whole family. Having all of the courses for the program on the Internet has allowed me to bring the university experience into my home and share it with my family. The coursework has expanded my thinking and I have been able to share these experiences with my family. The instructors and courses have been great! I am so grateful for this opportunity to earn a Bachelor's degree through this Internet program."
