It does if it's taken with a view to becoming a doctor, which is what Jindal was considering. It's called "pre-med", and it is the consolation prize one graduates with if they decides not to go to med school.
"A completely, utterly ridiculous statement. Do you work for Jindal?"
No, I don't "work for Jindal", and the statement is anything BUT ridiculous. You don't manage a major state department, relating directly to running hospitals, and move it from $400 million deficit to $220 million surplus status by NOT knowing something about how to manage health care. Can you name any OTHER individual with that kind of track record???
Jindal did not go to medical school. Wishes do not translate into experience. Using your logic a degree in business would be more helpful.
People who have never touched a patient have no business telling those who do how to run their practice.
I doubt if that is a recognized major. And what happens if they are not accepted at any med school?
