From the caring faculty to the cutting-edge labs, there’s a sincere desire to blend academic rigor with Christian service. It’s the freedom to stay connected to your faith life while pursuing your career, without shortchanging either one.
Schools of College of Health Professions
The College of Health Professions consists of the School of Allied Health, School of Human Performance, School of Nursing, and School of Physical Therapy.

Within the four schools, you’ll find a wide and growing variety of majors. There are bachelor’s programs in human services, in kinesiology with several concentrations, as well as in nursing, which range from bachelor’s to doctoral levels. We also have a CAPTE accredited doctoral program in physical therapy.

Allied Health
The human services field is extremely broad, but it all comes down to getting help to those who need it most – and doing so with compassion. The School of Allied Health at Anderson University can empower you to make a difference in a variety of “helping” professions.
Human Performance
Walking. Writing. Pedaling a bicycle. Throwing a curve ball. The variety of human movement and activity is complex and amazing. You can find a career exploring the science of human motion while helping others reach their physical potential in our School of Human Performance.
Nursing
It’s incredibly rewarding work. Simply put, nurses meet people’s needs: from managing care in operating rooms to advocating for patient’s rights in Congress. In the twenty-first century, nurses are in high demand—and will continue to be—as we seek solutions to America’s healthcare needs.
Physical Therapy
The School of Physical Therapy prepares physical therapists who are clinical experts in the evaluation and treatment of conditions that affect the human movement system, as well as advocates for healthy living and physical wellness.

Flexible Degree Program
We understand no two journeys are alike. And it’s why we’re on the cutting-edge of academic delivery and instruction–and why we created the Anderson University FLEX Degree Program. We offer competency-based, fully online degree-completion programs, measuring what you learn versus how many weeks you take a class. Our programs include Nursing (RN to BSN, Human Services, and Human Services with concentrations in Healthcare & Human Services Management, Gerontology and Behavioral Health.
Center for Medical Simulations
The Center for Medical Simulations is designed to provide a realistic clinical experience for students in nursing, human performance, and physical therapy. From the minute you step inside the center, you’ll get a feeling you’re walking onto a hall at a modern hospital. Rooms are arranged and equipped just as they would be in a working healthcare facility. But instead of beds filled with patients, AU has equipped the center with more than a dozen human simulators.
