Best Undergraduate Health Major Programs?

I want to pursue a major in Health during my undergraduate years. Any suggestions on the best colleges for this field?

Sure, happy to help! There are many colleges across the U.S. that offer excellent programs in Health Sciences. However, the "best" school will depend on your personal goals and circumstances. Here are some strong options in no particular order:

1. University of Pennsylvania: Their Health and Societies major allows students to explore the major from various perspectives, including cultural, historical, and policy angles.

2. Johns Hopkins University: Known for their superb pre-med program, JHU is a solid choice if you're interested in a health-centered career. They have a Public Health Studies major that is interdisciplinary in nature.

3. University of California, Berkeley: UC Berkeley's School of Public Health offers different concentrations within the Public Health major, like Health and Social Behavior, Environmental Health Sciences, and Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology.

4. University of Washington, Seattle: This school offers a Health Studies major that is flexible and allows for a focus on various health topics.

5. Boston University: This school is notable for their Health Sciences major which is pretty comprehensive and gives students a solid foundation of knowledge about the health care industry.

Make sure you conduct thorough research into each program to make sure they align with your aspirations—look at things like faculty, research opportunities, study abroad programs, internships, and course offerings. The "best" school is often the one that is the best fit for you personally, professionally, and financially. Best of luck in your college search!
