Welcome to the Health Professions Careers Page!

NAU's School of Health Professions is acutely aware of the role of economics in a student's choice of an institution of higher eduction. We therefore seek to make your experience at NAU one of the best financial decisions you will ever make.

The myriad costs of a higher education (tuition, books, room and board, etc), an "opportunity cost" for the student, are offset by the student's abilty to garner both higher wages and a more satisfying occupation after graduation. Which means that your investment in an education at NAU is an economic decision with a specific payoff in view. That payoff is YOU.

We see the School of Health Profession's role in preparing students for their future careers in two mutually compatible and mutually reinforcing ways:

  • As a means of personal development, bringing out and embellishing the student's natural interests, talents, and proclivities.
  • As an economic investment in human capital, an opportunity cost that yields ever increasing economic benefits for the student's future.
