Health Sciences Pathway
Earning a degree in one of SUNY Ulster’s health science programs offers job stability,
variety, and the chance to make a difference in the world. Students who enter the
healthcare field do so because they want to help change and save the lives of people
and animals.
Career prospects in these programs are excellent, with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
citing much faster than average growth through 2031. The field is expected to generate
2 million new jobs over the coming decade.
For our nursing and coaching programs, this increase in demand is due to the aging
of the American population, people living longer, and seeking out treatment for more
chronic conditions. And, because pet ownership in the U.S. has grown significantly
over the past three decades as well as pet owner perception of them as one of the
family, the demand for pet services has expanded.
