School Description

Provided by Baptist College of Health Sciences

Grounded in Christian principles and building on the legacy of professional health care education which began in 1912, Baptist Memorial College of Health Sciences is a private, specialized institution focusing on undergraduate health care education. In partnership with the Baptist Memorial Health Care Corporation, the College prepares health care practitioners for the southern region, particularly the tri-state area of Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi. The College seeks to attract diverse students who share commitments to spiritual values and ethics, academic excellence, and lifelong professional development. The College curriculum, while specialized, reflects the importance of a strong general education foundation for the health care professional.

Learning takes place not just in the classroom setting, but in some of the finest medical facilities available. Our curriculum includes both general studies and major-specific coursework in order to prepare competent and caring health care professionals. Students tell us that they value our small classes, availability of faculty and staff, our Christian atmosphere, and our emphasis on clinical education.

Our graduates have tremendous opportunities to extend Christ’s work of compassionate healing as noted with the words Higher Education with a Higher Purpose on our College seal. If you would like to make a difference in the lives of others, consider becoming a student at Baptist College of Health Sciences.

You have no doubt heard--Baptist College is one of the best places around to get an education in health care. Well, good news! Our activities also rock! You don't need to be one-dimensional while you are at BCHS. We want you to grow and develop in all areas of your life, and a lot of that takes place outside the classroom. The office of Student Services offers a wide range of campus activities and offerings while you are at Baptist College.
