Health Science is one of 16 nationally recognized career clusters. In SC, students select a career cluster near the end of the 8th grade year. From there, counselors, teachers, and parents can help direct students toward courses in the health science cluster. Once in the health science cluster, career exploration should continue because there are numerous career pathways within the health science cluster. Available careers in hospitals can be earned in as little as certification programs completed in high school, on the job training, 2-yr certification or degree programs, all the way up to 4 plus years of education or training.
