Health Sciences, B.S.
Saint Louis University's undergraduate degree in health sciences is a path for students interested in entering clinically related health fields or for students interested in health informatics and health data management fields. It also provides a solid scientific and health-oriented curriculum for professional or graduate education. The goal of many students in the health sciences program is to become prepared for professional and research careers in the rapidly changing world of health, with particular emphasis on the holistic context in which health care is delivered. Students in the health information management concentration are prepared for diverse career opportunities in health information fields and to take the Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) nationally recognized credentialing exam offered by the American Health Information Management Association.
Program Highlights
- The program provides a holistic view of health care that serves as a great pre-professional option for students going on to graduate education.
- In addition to learning about health sciences and anatomy and physiology, students will also learn about research methods, health care management, process improvement, health care technology, health care policy and law and more.
- Faculty members provide tremendous mentorship to help students in every phase of their education.
- Information technology is integrated throughout the curriculum, providing students with hands-on exposure and experience with typical health care industry systems.
The health care industry is growing and changing rapidly. A new generation of health professionals will be needed to examine old problems from a fresh perspective and arrive at innovative theories, policies and technologies that address emerging health concerns.
Students prepare for these challenges by offering curricular tracks in pre-medicine, medical scholar, pre-dentistry, pre-physician assistant, pre-pharmacy, pre-physical therapy, pre-occupational therapy, health information management concentration and a general health science curriculum. Each curricular track is optimized to prepare students for graduate studies and the workforce.
Advantages to earning your B.S. in Health Sciences at Saint Louis University include:
- An education based on Jesuit principles with a mission to prepare professionals who possess the competence, compassion and conduct essential to a health professional
- A flexible curriculum that allows for diverse areas of concentration
- Instruction by professionally credentialed faculty
- Medically relevant coursework ideal for a variety of post-baccalaureate study choices
In addition to the other pre-professional tracks and scholars programs available through the health sciences program, interested students are encouraged to learn more about the Pharmacy Scholars option — an exclusive opportunity for qualified incoming Saint Louis University first-year students to gain a guaranteed interview to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program at University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis and access to an accelerated pathway to completing both their bachelor's degree and their Pharm.D.
Curriculum Overview
The health sciences program at Saint Louis University offers a flexible curriculum that prepares students for a variety of health career environments. The curriculum is built on a strong science foundation that threads a holistic approach to understanding health care throughout the educational model.
SLU's health sciences program will provide students with:
- A solid, scientific baseline for pre-professional and/or pre-med scholars for entry into post-baccalaureate studies after graduating
- A path for those interested in entering a non-clinical, health-related field
- For HIM concentration students, use of an educational-based electronic health record, encoding systems, database management, statistical software and various other health information systems
The health sciences degree requires a minimum of 120 credits. Health Sciences and/or Health Information Management Concentration students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.7/4.0 and earn a "C" or better in math, science, business technology management and program-specific (HSCI and/or HIM prefix) courses to progress in the program. Most importantly, the program strives to equip graduates to understand the health care system and its complexities while still providing a solid scientific knowledge base.
Careers
The majority of students with a bachelor's degree in health sciences go on to medical school, graduate school or other post-baccalaureate studies. Students are also prepared for non-clinical employment opportunities within health care, such as:
- Health Care Coordinator: The point of contact to help coordinate patient support and services. As the liaison between patients, families, medical staff and services, coordinators provide management of the health and well-being of the patient.

Health Information Management Concentration
The Health Sciences - Health Information Management (HIM) concentration is designed for students interested in the study of medical sciences, data analysis, information technology, legal concepts and health management. HIM professionals are recognized experts in clinical and health care operational data. Department and adjunct faculty, who are professionals in the HIM field, prepare students for exciting and diverse career opportunities in health information and to take the Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) nationally recognized credentialing exam.
Graduates are primed for a tremendous variety of rapidly growing employment opportunities in all venues of the health care industry, including working with health care leadership to optimize the use of patient and operational data to make meaningful decisions regarding quality care, patient safety and organization operations; working with patients and families to help them understand their health information; and working with health care providers to optimize their use of technology to manage their data and operational needs.
Many HIM graduates also pursue graduate degrees in:
- Business administration
- Health administration
- Health data science
- Health informatics
- Law
- Public health
Students interested in advancing their academic path to graduate studies may pursue one of the following accelerated track options:
- HIM to HDS (Master of Science in Health Data Science)
- HIM to Law (Juris Doctorate)
- HIM to MHA (Master of Science in Health Administration)
Clinical and Research Opportunities
Each student will complete a project-based internship in their last year of study. The HIM concentration has affiliations with local clinical sites for students to complete their professional practice experience. The projects provide an opportunity to experience roles such as:
- Electronic health record analyst

- Students apply a maximum of 30 MHA credits completed in their first year to their undergraduate degree program and receive their Bachelor’s Degree after the successful completion of the first year of the SLU MHA Program.
- Students must maintain a 3.4 cumulative GPA to continue in the Accelerated Program. After completing 75 credits, students will submit an application to SLU’s MHA Program. If admitted to SLU’s MHA Program, these students will begin their MHA program in their fourth year.
- Please note that the SLU MHA program is competitive and enrollment in the Accelerated HIM to MHA 3+2 track does not guarantee admission to the SLU MHA program.
Continuation Standards
Students must maintain a minimum 2.70 grade point average (GPA).
Roadmaps are recommended semester-by-semester plans of study for programs and assume full-time enrollment unless otherwise noted.
Courses and milestones designated as critical (marked with !) must be completed in the semester listed to ensure a timely graduation. Transfer credit may change the roadmap.
This roadmap should not be used in the place of regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor/mentor each semester. Requirements, course availability and sequencing are subject to change.
