Created for healing
A fuller knowledge of how the human body works can only bring us closer to the One who makes it tick. The professors who oversee the School of Science and Engineering at Grace College believe that a Christian perspective in this arena is life-altering and career-defining. They believe—and encourage their students to believe—that God not only created all that we know but also gives us sufficient evidence of His creation. So while we study biology, anatomy, and chemistry, we unite the classroom experience with the worship experience—soaking in scientific knowledge about the majesty of God’s creation while humbly recognizing and extolling Him as the Creator. This mindset informs all of the health and medicine programs we offer:
Nursing
Grace partners with Bethel University to offer a degree in Nursing. Graduates of the program have a strong history of passing the state board examination on the first attempt, qualifying for licenses as registered nurses.
Medical Imaging
The Medical Imaging major is delivered in collaboration with John Patrick University. Majors have the option of specializing in either Nuclear Medicine, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Sonography, or Computed Tomography (CT).
Health Science
The Health Science major prepares students with foundations in biology and chemistry for professional ambitions in Pre-chiropractic, Pre-dental, Pre-medicine (DO or MD), Pre-occupational Therapy, Pre-optometry, Pre-pharmacy, Pre-physical Therapy, Pre-physician Assistant, Pre-podiatry, and Pre-veterinary.
Exercise Science
The Exercise Science major takes an applied learning approach, allowing opportunities for hands-on experiences and introducing students to a wide variety of career options in wellness, fitness, and applied health. This program prepares students with the foundation needed for graduate degrees in Physical Therapy, Sports Medicine, Athletic Training, Exercise Physiology, and Occupational Therapy.

"One of the most important qualities of this program is the professors, clinical instructors, and advisors all have a huge heart for individual students. Learning how to care for patients while also having the support of a whole team of excellent faculty allowed me to gain the confidence I needed to make it through the program and become a nurse.”
“Grace has prepared me for the next step of graduate school through being involved as an athlete and a coach, as well as the emphasis they put on education and making sure each student has what they need to succeed.”
