History
In 1881, Dr. Dudley Allen Sargent founded the Sargent School of Physical Training in Cambridge, Massachusetts. During the decades that followed the establishment of the School, Dr. Sargent built a reputation as an innovator in physical conditioning and health promotion. At the Sargent School, students learned training techniques to strengthen and improve the physical capabilities of all people, including both disabled and healthy individuals. This emphasis on comprehensive healthcare remains a focus of the College today. Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences became part of Boston University in 1929, five years after Dr. Sargent's death. His son and administrative successor, Ledyard, tendered ownership of the School to the University, establishing a relationship that has strengthened the College's curriculum of arts and sciences through the years.
As knowledge about health grows and society's healthcare needs become more complex, Boston University College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences: Sargent College continuously improves its degree programs to meet the needs of future health professionals.
Basic and advanced professional degree programs at BU Sargent College are offered in over 15 specialized areas including athletic training, speech, language and hearing sciences, health science, nutrition, occupational therapy, physical therapy, rehabilitation sciences, human physiology and more.
