#BUMajorMention: Health Science Our approach to health science is interdisciplinary, with a focus on global public health. The Health Science program's expertise lies in preparing students to excel in a wide range of health care environments—or to enter graduate study for careers in medicine, clinical practice, public health, research, or non-health fields like business and law. Core courses during your first two years will include the biological sciences, humanities, and social sciences. In your junior and senior years, you’ll take advanced global public health courses, culminating in a practicum at a health care site in the Boston area or abroad.
