Program Highlight
What is Health Science?
The Health Sciences major is human-centered and clinically focused. And it’s a field that encompasses many career paths, from public health and wellness promotion to disease prevention and rehabilitation.
As an HS major, you’ll get to choose courses and electives that align with your career goals; if you’re on the pre-med or pre-professional school track, you’ll also take classes that will prepare you for successful entry into these programs.
Benefit From an Integrative Approach
Health Science is part of the Biological and Health Sciences Department, which also includes Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Neurology, Biololgy, and Conservation & Ecological Health. Together, these five majors share a core curriculum designed to introduce you to the underpinnings of biological and health sciences and teach you how to read, write, produce, and speak about science. With this firm foundation, you will be well-positioned to pursue the major of your choice
Our interdisciplinary approach also allows us to creatively leverage existing relationships with other departments such as Chemistry, Geology & Environmental Science, and Psychology, to provide an integrated, robust learning experience that prepares you well for graduate school, medical school, or any number of careers in the field of biological and health sciences.
