Frequently asked questions

Is earning the Associate’s Degree required? Accordion Closed

Yes. The B.S. Health Sciences degree completion program requires students to transfer in a qualifying regionally accredited associate degree. NAU does not offer the clinical or discipline specific coursework that transfers in from the associate program. Qualified students may begin taking NAU coursework prior to finishing their associate but must complete it and obtain their certification/licensure prior to starting their final course, HS 460C.

Do I have to earn the AGEC (Arizona General Education Certificate)? Accordion Closed

No. Students may take NAU online courses to meet specific liberal studies course requirements. Students who do transfer in the AGEC automatically fulfill NAU’s liberal studies and diversity requirements. Health Sciences advisors assist students individually to determine their best course of action to complete the program.

When should I apply to NAU? Accordion Closed

Applications are accepted year round. This program requires two separate applications, one to the department and one to the university. Due to specific prequalification requirements, students should consult with an NAU Online Allied Health admissions specialist prior to applying for admission to this program. Qualified students may apply and start taking coursework any semester.

How much does it cost to attend NAU? Accordion Closed

The total cost includes tuition, fees, course textbook(s) and materials, residency status of student (Arizona vs. out of state), and the number of courses needed to complete the degree. NAU has one of the lowest tuition rates of any college in Arizona. For detailed, current information on tuition and fees, refer to NAU’s website at nau.edu/sdas and click on “Tuition & education costs”.

Is financial aid available? Accordion Closed

Yes. Students who wish to use financial aid to cover their education expenses need to apply for it two to three months prior to their desired start term. Students may contact a financial advisor at (602) 728-9506 or 1 (800) 426-8315, ext. 4951. NAU scholarships are also available. Refer to NAU’s financial aid website for more information.

Where and how are NAU courses held? Accordion Closed

All NAU coursework for this program is delivered online. No travel to the main NAU campus in Flagstaff is required. Refer to the final page of this packet for more information about taking online classes through NAU.
