The undergraduate curriculum centers on the basic disciplines of liberal study with courses in the humanities, the natural and social sciences and the fine arts. Selected career programs, preparatory to graduate study and the work force, reflect the college’s traditional emphasis on personal achievement and fulfillment as well as service to others. Nazareth College offers major programs designed to prepare students for the human service occupations in fields of work, nursing and music therapy. The social work program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. An upper-level baccalaureate program in nursing, for registered nurses only, is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. The music therapy program is approved by the American Music Therapy Association. Other professional programs include speech pathology and the accounting programs.

In fall 1996 Nazareth began offering a five-year program leading to degrees of BS in health science and MS in physical therapy.
Through the international studies major, the modern foreign language major programs, the international business and economic courses, Nazareth encourages a global awareness among its students.
