Military Affiliated Programs

The School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) has a rich collaborative history with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army. Since the mid-1970s, SMHS has partnered with the Navy to offer degree programs in Advanced Hospital Corps School, Medical Laboratory Technician, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Oral Biology, Physician Assistant, Radiologic Technology, and Undersea Medical Technology. With the Army, GW has built degree programs in Medical Laboratory Technology and Cytotechnology since the mid 1990s.

Over the years, thousands of soldiers and sailors have successfully completed one or more Health Sciences programs at GW that, in combination with general education college credits, lead to Associate in Science, Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences, and Master of Science in Health Sciences degrees.

In recent years, we have expanded degree offerings for military personnel with prior training in health care fields to include specialized distance learning programs.
