Student Opportunities
To fully appreciate one of the greatest strengths of a Boston University Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences education, you have to leave the classroom.
A key part of your preparation to become a health care professional is the real-world exposure and training you’ll receive through the clinical experiences incorporated into each Sargent College degree program. Typically starting early, clinical experiences are planned sequentially to build on the academic knowledge and skills you’re acquiring through coursework. Some clinical placements are part time, while others are full time. All are integrated within the curriculum of the professional programs.
