How the Doctor of Health Science Program Finder Works
You don’t need a school in mind yet. Tell the DHSc program finder how you want to study and what you want the degree to do for you, and it does the comparing.
You Answer Six Questions
How you want the degree to end, how much time you can spend on campus, where you live, the work you want next, what matters most and anything else you want us to weigh.
We Read 22 Programs
The program finder keeps the programs that meet your answers, then reads each one’s published details and our review against what you told us.
You Get Your Matches
Up to five programs, each with a match percentage, the facts behind it and a link to its full review in our rankings.
What Our DHSc Program Finder Compares
How the Degree Ends
4 of the 22 programs end in a dissertation, and 13 end in an applied project you can build around your own job.
Time on Campus
16 programs are fully online with no campus visits. 6 ask for some time on campus, from a single on-site visit to classes that meet in person.
The Work You Want Next
Of 22 programs, 7 lean toward health care leadership, 3 toward teaching, 8 toward public and population health and 6 toward research.
What You’d Pay
Published graduate tuition runs from $7,716 to $85,000 a year, with a median of $37,500. At the 5 public universities, your state sets the rate.
How Long It Runs
Published credit counts run from 35 to 70, so the same three letters can mean twice the coursework. Pick “Fewer credits” if that matters to you.
Where You Live
The programs sit in 9 states, and nearly all teach online, so your state mostly changes public tuition and the travel to any residency.
Rather browse on your own? Every program in the finder has a full review in our Doctor of Health Science program rankings. You can also start from the online DHSc programs, the programs with no campus visits or the most affordable DHSc programs.
Which Doctor of Health Science Program Fits the Work You Want?
Health Care Leadership and Administration
If you already work in health care and want to run a department, a clinic or a program, start here. 7 programs in our finder lean toward leadership work, and Indiana State puts it in the degree title: a Doctor of Health Science in Healthcare Leadership. Compare them in our health administration DHSc rankings, and see the pay in our health services manager guide.
Teaching in the Health Professions
If you’re a PA, therapist or nurse who wants to teach, look for an education concentration. Radford (higher education), Nova Southeastern (education in health care) and Bridgeport (education track) offer one, and 3 programs in our finder lean toward teaching overall. Our health care education DHSc rankings compare them, and the health specialties professor guide covers the faculty job itself.
Public Health, Global Health and Policy
8 programs in our finder lean toward public, population or global health. Radford offers a community and public health concentration, Nova Southeastern a global health one, and Jefferson builds a whole DHSc around population health leadership. If policy or public health practice is the main goal, weigh a DrPH too. Our DHSc vs DrPH guide compares the two.
Research
The DHSc is mostly an applied degree. 13 of the 22 programs end in an applied project, and 4 end in a dissertation. If you want to run your own studies, choose “A Dissertation” in question one, then read our DHSc vs PhD guide, because a PhD is the doctorate built for research careers.
Why the DHSc Program Finder Sometimes Shows Close Matches
There are only 22 enrolling Doctor of Health Science programs in our data, so two strict answers can leave very few. Just one program ends in a dissertation with no campus visits, and 2 programs pair an applied project with time on campus.
When fewer than five programs fit every answer, the program finder lists those first, then fills the rest with close matches. Each close match misses exactly one of your answers, and its card names that answer, so you can decide whether it’s a dealbreaker.
