Health and Society Major
What is the 糖心vlog视频 Department of Anthropology, Health & Society Major?
Housed in the Department of Anthropology, the Health & Society Major at 糖心vlog视频 is an inter-disciplinary program for students interested in the practice and study of health in global and cultural contexts. Through this plan of study, students engage in broad and diverse ways with the problems of illness and health care in human societies. With its major emphasis on interdisciplinary study, the major fosters graduates who are well-prepared to perform and collaborate in healthcare occupations by viewing health as part of dynamic systems with symbolic, material, ethical, and historical factors. The program will help students meet a greater variety of post-baccalaureate goals, including employment or graduate admission to schools and programs of medicine, dentistry, public health, nursing, health care administration, psychology, medical anthropology, medical sociology, law, and others.
The major includes courses spanning lab, behavioral, and social sciences, an ethics component, as well as a capstone course or project. The foundation courses include introductory, intermediate, and advanced level classes where students in this major come together in shared experience.
