With growing demand from students eager to enter healthcare fields, Sara Schenirer proudly announces the launch of a new accelerated Health Science degree track for men and women, to complement its already highly successful Pre-Med Track. The new program begins this fall, and multiple cohorts have already filled due to high demand. Both tracks are offered in partnership with the University of Mount Saint Vincent and Saint Peter’s University.
“Our existing Pre-Med track is ideal for students seeking to apply to medical, dental, or PA school,” explained Rabbi Elazar Meisels, President of Sara Schenirer. “But students who wish to pursue a career in nursing and similar fields will be better served by the Health Science track, which is quicker and even more affordable.”
Which track is right for you?
Pre-Med Track (16 months): Designed for students pursuing admission to medical school, dental school, PA school, or pharmacy programs, this track includes the advanced science prerequisites and lab courses required for those programs.
Health Science Track (11 months): Ideal for students planning to apply to nursing school and similar allied health fields. Fast, affordable, and rigorous, it includes the core science prerequisites needed for those pathways.
Students in both tracks earn a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a concentration in Pre-Med or Health Science, positioning them to apply for graduate programs in a wide range of medical fields. Students may also transfer in dual credit and seminary credits to complete their degree even faster. Both programs offer access to exceptional professors and a highly supportive learning environment.
Although Sara Schenirer does not offer a nursing degree directly, graduates of the Health Science Track benefit from an exclusive agreement with the University of Mount Saint Vincent, which offers a Shomer Shabbat Nursing Program specially tailored for Sara Schenirer students.
“We’ve seen a tremendous demand for clear, Torah-aligned pathways into the healthcare field,” said Mrs. Batsheva Shonek, Director of Sara Schenirer. “These new tracks allow our students to pursue meaningful, respected careers in medicine or allied health – without compromising their values, schedule, or support system.”
