Online degree programs are available in certain healthcare fields.
The most popular study areas are nursing, psychology, health administration, counseling, social work and public health.
- Because healthcare is naturally hands-on, there are limits to what you can study online.
- Medicine, dentistry and occupational therapy, for example, don't have online degree programs.
For clinical degrees (such as Bachelor of Science in Nursing), students are required to do workplace training as well as online study. You or the online school may be able to organize work placements at healthcare facilities near to where you live. Clinical programs may also have residential schools (occasional multi-day classes on campus).
Below is a list of the main healthcare degrees you can get from online universities. The list doesn't show detailed specializations (such as specialist nursing fields and various types of counseling).
