Dear Visitor:

Welcome to the Website for the Division of Allied Health Sciences in the College of Pharmacy, Nursing and Allied Health Sciences at Howard University. Since 1974, the Division has provided challenging educational programs for numerous allied health professionals. As the first historically Black College and University to open a school of allied health, Howard University has produced over 2000 allied health professionals. Many are working as health care providers, researchers, educators, policy makers, and administrators in the U.S., Caribbean and Africa.

Graduates have been recognized for their scholarship, and contributions to community and public service. Members of the faculty are leaders within their fields. Several are Fellows in their professional organizations, and many hold local and national leadership positions. When combined, over 68 percent of the faculty either hold or are pursuing doctoral degrees.

I invite you to pursue our program offerings. The Division offers undergraduate programs in Clinical Laboratory Science, Health Management Science, Nutritional Sciences, Physician Assistant, and Radiation Therapy. Graduate programs include a Masters in Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy, and Masters and Ph.D. programs in Nutritional Sciences.

Choosing a career in allied health sciences is an outstanding decision. As the largest contributor to the health care work force, the employment outlook for allied health is excellent. Most students are employed within the first three months of graduation, and command salaries within a range of $35,000 - $74,000. As a faculty member at this great institution since 1978, I state without hesitation that Division prepares students for outstanding careers in allied health sciences.
