Bachelor of Science in Human Science

Photo of students from Undergradute Research ConferenceThe Human Science track provides a unique opportunity for students interested in pursuing a career in such fields as health policy, scientific writing, biomedical research, pharmaceutical and medical technology management, public health, and other science-based health-related professions. Human science is also ideal for students who wish to pursue graduate education in medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, veterinary medicine, and other biomedical sciences.

Distinguished from a traditional Biology major, the Human Science department allows students to study the application of scientific discoveries in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics to human health. Human Science students also study genetics, immunology, biotechnology, microbiology, pharmacology and pathophysiology. The Progam features:

  • Junior and Senior Seminars, providing the opportunity to interpret, discuss, and analyze primary research in the human sciences.
  • NHS Discovery Center - a new, state-of-the-art teaching laboratory and research facility
  • Research opportunities and internships prepare students for a number of possible career paths.
  • Opportunities to participate in the production of the online, peer-reviewed GU Journal of Health Sciences.
  • Students participation in the Georgetown University Undergraduate Research Conference (pictured above and below).
  • Small classes.
  • Faculty with a commitment to partner with students to help them succeed.
