What Can You Do With a Health Sciences Degree?

A flexible foundation for clinical, allied-health, and health-administration careers. We track 8 careers that a Health Sciences degree commonly leads to, with median pay from $64,080 to $126,260 depending on the role and how far you take it.

How these numbers work: A major does not have its own salary. The pay above comes from the 8 careers below that a Health Sciences degree commonly leads to, using each one's national median wage from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Entry-level roles sit toward the bottom of that range and advanced or graduate-level roles toward the top, so where you land depends on the specific career and any further education.
