Health Studies at Bentley University

Our program combines studies in biology, technology, and culture to prepare you for the task ahead. With a mix of coveted skills, you can help organizations find and apply the latest scientific research—for the benefit of all. You’ll learn the basics of human health and disease and how institutions traditionally deliver care. The program culminates in an internship or research project, so you gain valuable experience and professional contacts during your senior year. Depending on your interests, you can specialize your Health Studies degree in biotechnology, environmental health, health policy or health psychology—or create a new concentration with your faculty adviser.

As a Health Studies major, you will graduate with a broad knowledge of business by completing courses that are part of the Business Administration minor. You will also have the option of complementing your Health Studies major with a Business Administration major, or any other approved Bentley major, by using some of your free electives to take additional courses.
