The Basis of a Sound Education

Recognizing that the basis of an excellent professional education must be a sound liberal arts education, BU Sargent College builds a sequence of arts and sciences courses into its undergraduate programs and encourages students to choose from a variety of electives. Faculty strive to create a learning environment that fosters the development of human values and effective interpersonal skills that are the mark of outstanding health professionals. As instructors, they encourage students to question, think critically, evaluate objectively, and search for new answers to health care problems. As advisors, they work individually with students, helping them plan their courses of study and offering career counseling.

Fieldwork is an important component in all the programs of BU Sargent College. To provide students with clinical experience, the College affiliates with more than 550 hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools, community health agencies, and research laboratories in the Boston area and throughout the United States. You can find clinical education information under the program you are interested in.
