College Overview
The College of Allied Health Sciences at Augusta University was established as an administrative entity in 1968.

Since then, programs in occupational therapy, physician assistant, nuclear medicine technology, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, radiation therapy, and public health were added. Subsequently, the College launched an academic program in nutrition with a dietetic internship. A doctorate of philosophy in applied health sciences was added in 2013. The College was later approved to offer a Bachelor of Science in Health Services degree. In 2023, the MPH and the PhD in Applied Health Sciences programs moved to the new School of Public Health, and most recently, the college was approved to begin a Speech-Language Pathology program at Augusta University.
