Health and Society I

We live in an era when health and healthcare present unique challenges and opportunities for societies throughout the globe. While there are new advances, innovations, and healthcare technologies, there are also increasing inequalities, increasing costs, changing social and ethical issues, emerging health problems (like mental illness and addiction), health policy challenges and a number of other health and quality of life issues. Students of the Health & Society program examine these important issues and address them through the critical, constructive lens of social sciences.

• Limited enrollment program
• Emphasis on experiential education and research
• Students learn about the social impacts of health from different perspectives, with faculty members from a variety of disciplines such as Economics, Sociology, Geography, Social Work, Political Science, and more
• Community-partnered research and other learning opportunities
• Exclusive Level I course, events and personal support.
