More about health-focused programs at CUAA
Ronald and Marvel Jones School of Nursing
The Ronald and Marvel Jones School of Nursing launched its first cohort in fall 2016 and has since graduated a class of compassionate caretakers every semester since fall 2018. The state-of-the-art Center for Simulation and Innovation within the nursing wing includes five hospital rooms, eight clinic rooms, a 10-bed skills lab that acts as an emergency department, a three-room apartment, and a courtroom. The rooms are used daily as the setting for a variety of inpatient and outpatient simulations.
School of Arts and Sciences
Graduates of Concordia University Ann Arbor’s master’s in athletic training are taking the field as professionals for the first time, some scoring roles with Division 1 athletic programs right out of graduation. As a relatively new program at CUAA, two cohorts of graduates have completed the five-year program. The first group of students in May 2020 and again in May 2021. Many students considering pursuing careers in the medical field might opt to study exercise science, pharmaceutical science, biomedical sciences, or biology.

CUAA school of health professions (SHP) recently celebrated the launch of its physician assistant program, welcoming the first class of students in January 2021 and a second class of PA students beginning in January 2022.
