Health Biology Concentration

The Health Biology Concentration focuses on biomedical sciences and human health. It requires coursework in (1) basic biological, chemical and physical sciences, and (2) health sciences (e.g., human genetics, immunology, ethical and legal issues in health care). This concentration is designed to provide students with a foundation in health sciences that will enable qualified graduates to move into any of the wide variety of career paths available within the healthcare industry. Many professions (e.g., physician assistant, occupational therapy, physical therapy, public health, forensic sciences, etc.) will require further training at the master’s or doctorate level, but others (e.g., entry positions in the pharmaceutical or medical diagnostics industries, in hospital and independent testing laboratories, or in government health laboratories) will not.
