Training World-Class Health Care Professionals
With health care expected to be one of the largest areas of job growth into the next decade and beyond, Lynchburg College is enhancing existing health sciences offerings and designing new programs to meet the needs of our students and community.
We have added a new master's degree in nursing and a competitive Doctor of Physical Therapy program to complement our thriving programs in athletic training, exercise physiology, health and physical education, health promotion, nursing and sport management.
