Health and Society (HSOC) is an interdisciplinary, cross-college program
The timeliness of this major is felt globally as populations grapple with health, healing practices and health care. HSOC brings together an array of social science and liberal arts approaches to address critical questions concerning health in human societies.
This program brings together highly engaging faculty and broad-thinking students to examine the many ways in which human health, healing, and health care are defined, perceived, and enacted and distributed within and across populations.
Coursework as diverse as the major itself
Students take a selection of College of Arts and Science (CAS) courses in anthropology, critical race and ethnic studies, economics, environmental studies, gender, sexuality, and women's studies, geography, philosophy, political science, psychology, sociology, and more. As a cross-college major, Health and Society offers students the opportunity to take some non-CAS in areas such as communication sciences and disorders, community development and applied economics, health education, health sciences, nutrition and food science, statistics, and more.
