Why Choose Allied Health?
Our flexible program offers a four-year degree tailored to your career goals, whether you plan to be a clinician or an administrative professional. You can choose from a concentration in general science or health care administration.
The Classes
The allied health program is interdisciplinary and includes study of the anatomy and physiology, psychology, ethics and first aid. All allied health majors examine topics including:
- U.S. healthcare system
- Death as a fact of life
- Stress management
- Alcohol and substance abuse
- Patient care procedures
Faculty with Real-World Experience
You will learn from full-time faculty members and adjunct professors — some who practiced or continue to practice in an administrative or clinical setting. They will share personal experiences, and engage with you in and out of the classroom.
Achieve Your Career Goals
As an allied health major at Manhattan College, you must complete an internship experience during your senior year in a setting relevant to your career goals. You will be placed or can choose a health care facility or hospital in the New York City metro area.
We prepare students to be competitive applicants in health professions schools. The Center for Graduate School and Fellowship Advisement (CGSF) and the Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC) will support as you pursue a career in medicine, dentistry or allied health fields. We will help you fine-tune your curriculum, activities and internships relevant to your goals.
