What do you want to do?

Careers in health care are growing, rewarding, and as different from one another as a children’s playground and a medical lab.

What do you want to do? Help a stroke victim regain confidence and independence by helping them relearn how to perform daily tasks? Study ways to manipulate muscle cell growth in the fight against a degenerative childhood disease? Work with professional football players to improve their game and help them return to the playing field? Shape the policies and measure the results of health care reform?

At BU College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences: Sargent College, you can find a path to any health care profession in research, clinical practice, academic,s or public health. All require at a minimum a bachelor’s degree; for most, an advanced degree is needed or recommended. Some require interdisciplinary training, and we have programs for that, too.
