Health Sciences is an umbrella undergraduate major covering the foundational sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, physiology, microbiology) plus health-system context (epidemiology, public health, healthcare administration). It is a common pathway for students aiming at medical school, PA programs, dental school, physical therapy, occupational therapy, or pharmacy. Many programs include a clinical-shadowing or internship requirement.

Unlike a strict pre-med Biology track, Health Sciences leaves more room for healthcare-specific electives like medical ethics, healthcare policy, and global health. It also better positions graduates for direct-entry healthcare roles if they decide not to pursue further professional school.
