Pipeline programs
The Virginia Commonwealth University Health Sciences and Health Careers Pipeline features programs that are offered to students from elementary school all the way through the post-baccalaureate level. Each and every program in the VCU Pipeline offers unique and interesting experiences.
While each program has its own distinct goals and benefits for students, all the programs aim to:
- Educate and excite students about careers in the health sciences
- Provide resources to strengthen students’ academic skills in math, science and verbal and written communication
- Ensure informed decision-making while pursuing the health career of their choice
All students considering applying to a VCU Pipeline program are encouraged to learn about the program and specific benefits through research on this Web site and by contacting program staff directly.
