A degree in psychology from Bloomsburg University gives quality students an appropriate background for graduate study and research in all areas of the discipline. It also offers qualified students a broad range of career possibilities with the potential for employment in settings such as clinics, counseling centers, hospitals, community human service agencies, educational institutions, research organizations or businesses.
Allied health preparatory programs include pre-physical therapy, pre-occupational therapy, pre-pharmacy, pre-physician assistant, and pre-cytotechnology. Students usually spend two to four years of study at Bloomsburg, and then transfer to another institution for clinical and further specialized training. Students follow a course of study that prepares them for entry into programs at different schools and for a degree in health sciences or biology if they wish to remain at Bloomsburg University for four years. Bloomsburg University does not offer specific degrees in these areas. These preparatory programs provide the advantage of combining a quality, reasonably priced education at a rural university, with training at a major, often urban, medical center.
Clinical laboratory scientists perform many of the laboratory tests used in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. As part of the health care team they contribute data on blood, tissues, and fluids using a variety of precise methods and technologies. The program of study combines natural science and liberal arts education with clinical instruction.
Students complete 90 credit hours (3 years) of core science and general education classes at Bloomsburg followed by one calendar year in a hospital clinical program accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS).
Medical imaging technologists are allied health professionals who have expertise in the operation of imaging equipment and the preparation of patients for various diagnostic and treatment procedures. Practice specialties may include competencies in radiography, nuclear medicine, sonography, radiation therapy, cardiovascular interventional radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, and mammography. Additionally, many clinically educated medical imaging technologists pursue careers in management or teaching within their disciplines. To meet the varying needs of these health care professionals, the program offers a range of academic pathways leading to a baccalaureate degree. Admission into the clinical portions of these programs is not automatic or guaranteed; high scholastic achievement is required
A number of required courses are offered in the Department of Biological and Allied Health Sciences. Students interested in pursuing a medical career must follow a degree program that includes science courses required for entrance into medical school. In addition, a strong program of liberal arts courses is highly recommended by American medical schools.

The health physics profession is diverse and one of the most interesting and rewarding fields of scientific endeavor. Across the nation there has been an extended shortage of health physicists, so today there are excellent prospects for professional employment immediately upon graduation from Bloomsburg. Qualified Bloomsburg graduates are sought by nationally recognized graduate programs at Ohio State University, University of Florida and Texas A&M University.
The undergraduate program in audiology and speech pathology prepares students for admission to graduate education in either audiology or speech-language pathology. The entry-level credential for speech/language pathology is a master’s degree, and a clinical doctorate for audiology. As such, Bloomsburg University does not make recommendations for state certification in either discipline at completion of the undergraduate program.
Bloomsburg hosts a doctoral program in Audiology and a master’s program in Speech-Language Pathology, and the facilities include a professional audiology and speech pathology clinic on campus.
