YOU ARE BOUVÉ
Combining a unique blend of experiential learning, clinical experience, and a rigorous academic curriculum, Bouvé College of Health Sciences’ comprehensive degree programs provide students with the resources they need to become healthcare professionals. At Bouvé, you have access to individualized resources, a vast and growing global network of students, faculty, and alumni, and the distinct advantage of leaving with the confidence that comes from direct experience and a greater understanding of the U.S. healthcare system.
Bouve students also have access to the University’s PreMed and PreHealth Advising, which exists to support undergraduate students and alumni from across the university’s global campus network on their pathway to medical school, dental school, physician assistant school, podiatry school, optometry school, and veterinary school.

At Northeastern, we are dedicated to helping students balance the pressures of the application process with the need to maintain mental and physical health and wellbeing. Our team of advisors makes this a regular part of the conversation.
