Biohealth

Loyola's Biohealth Major provides a multidisciplinary preparation for students interested in pursuing direct entry into the biohealth workforce or into graduate programs, and includes courses not only in biology, but also in statistics, technical writing, computer science, marketing, and business. You will graduate poised to be a leader and trailblazer in biological innovations, scientific communication, and data analysis. Students take a Biohealth Core and then select from one of three areas of concentration: Biopharma and Biotechnology, Biological Commercialization, and Digital Health and Data Analytics.
