Major in Combined Sciences
An interdisciplinary program that balances natural science training with analytical social science frameworks.
Santa Clara University's combined sciences degree will provide you with a breadth of basic natural science training along with meaningful exposure to analytical frameworks used in the social sciences. The combined sciences major will foster your awareness of the multiplicity of forces that shape our world. This major offers good preparation for times of dramatic change by encouraging you to think about interconnections among processes other sciences tend to look at in isolation. Although a pathway to a variety of careers, the combined sciences major is especially popular with prehealth students.
