Explore Your Future in Health and Human Sciences
Are you a high school junior or senior with a passion for helping others and an interest in health, wellness, or healthcare? The College of Health Sciences at Sam Houston State University invites you to attend our Health Sciences Summer Camp—a dynamic, hands-on, and immersive 3-day experience that offers a window into the world of health-related careers.

- Explore careers as a nutritionist, healthcare administrator, nurse, interior designer, physical therapist, athletic trainer, physician assistant, or public health advocate.
- Engage with professionals across a variety of health and human service disciplines.
- Collaborate with SHSU students who serve as mentors and role models.
- Get a taste of college life by staying in residence halls, dining on campus, and joining social and recreational activities.
- Visit our School of Nursing at The Woodlands Center, traveling by charter bus for an up-close look at a state-of-the-art healthcare learning environment.
