Bachelor of Arts - Health Science - Public/Global/Environmental Health

Program Description

Florida Atlantic University's (FAU) Bachelor of Arts with a major in Health Science degree is designed for students interested in pursuing careers in healthcare-related professions.

This degree provides broad-based interdisciplinary training with a core in the basic sciences and requires a concentration in one of the following areas: Geriatrics (Aging Studies), Women’s Health, Public/Global/Environmental Health, Science, Behavioral and Mental Health and Pre-Clinical. (Please note: The Pre-Clinical concentration is on hiatus and not accepting students at this time.)  

The program structure enables students to take relevant coursework in various colleges and departments across FAU to broaden their understanding of factors that both positively and negatively impact the healthcare system, patients and practitioners. In addition, through the Health Science course sequence, students learn how professionals from various fields of practice (medicine, pharmacy, social work, nursing, etc.) interact in a collaborative manner. Students also have access to clinical observation opportunities and other extracurricular activities (lab experiences, internships, research).
