Academic Mission and Programs
The Mission of the AUA Turpanjian College of Health Sciences (CHS) is to improve population health and health services in Armenia and beyond through interdisciplinary education, transformative research, and development of health professionals to be leaders in public health, nursing, health services research and evaluation, as well as health care delivery and management.
The CHS Master of Public Health (MPH) Program engages experienced health professionals and others in transformational education and training in population-based approaches to health and health services research, delivery, and evaluation. Our graduates are then prepared to lead efforts in improving health and health services in Armenia and globally.
The CHS Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Program provides the nurses/midwifes who have a diploma in nursing from a vocational level colleges and seek to advance into a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. The BSN graduates are well-grounded and well-rounded individuals, able to think critically and creatively, learn on their own, understand different kinds of thinking, work in teams, and deal with people from different cultures and disciplines.

It provides its expertise as a resource to support and facilitate the existing public health and nursing infrastructure in Armenia. The CHSR fosters collaborative experiences outside the traditional health disciplines to explore solutions to complex health problems.
