In addition to Boston, Bouvé College of Health Science programs are offered at satellite locations in Burlington, Massachusetts and Charlotte, North Carolina and online.

Through the 1980s, with industry changes, Boston-Bouve's emphases began to shift as well—from turning out physical education teachers to producing athletic trainers; from community and outdoor recreation programs to fitness and sports management; and to a greater focus on preparing students for careers in rehabilitation centers, fitness and exercise centers, and hospitals.

[8] While the school succeeded in increasing enrollment in its beginning years, it was hamstrung by its lack of accreditation to grant four-year degrees.

Marjorie Bouvé petitioned the Massachusetts Board of Education in 1929 to authorize the school as a degree-granting institution but was unsuccessful in her efforts.

Although physiotherapy did not become a separate course of study until the 1950s, students increasingly enrolled at Bouvé-Boston because of its reputation as a leader in the movement to professionalize the discipline.

In the 1960s, Bouvé-Boston implemented another new major in recreation education, which trained students to guide people of all ages through relaxing and creative leisure-time activities.

Marjorie Bouvé accepted the proposal and also chose to affiliate the renamed Bouvé-Boston School of Physical Education with Simmons College.

[11] The structure of the college is designed to foster cross-disciplinary interaction among faculty and students, encourages innovation in the education of both entry level and advanced practice health professionals, and recognizes the autonomy of each profession.

[13] In addition, a PreMed and PreHealth Advising program offers expertise to students interested in pursuing a career in medicine.

[14] Northeastern's signature cooperative education, or co-op, program allows students to alternate semesters of study with work experience.

Bouvé College’s co-op program offers students two to three paid professional experiences at more than 175 employers in Boston, home to multiple world-renowned hospitals and biotech and healthcare companies, and around the world.

[15] Bouvé College has a variety of research opportunities to give students a chance to actively participate in the field, labs, and clinical settings starting from as early as their first year.

The Arnold S. Goldstein Simulation Laboratory is intended for students to apply immersive, hands-on experiential training across all disciplines.
