As the world deals with the aftermath of COVID-19, the Global Health Studies (GHS) program prepares students to work, learn, and lead in a recovering post-pandemic society.
The undergraduate major in Global Health Studies offers a truly interdisciplinary academic experience. Coursework for this major includes local and global aspects of health: medicine, prevention, policy, faith, environment, culture, society, and research. Students have multiple pathways available to craft a unique course of study that prepares them for any number of opportunities after graduation, including medical or nursing school, doctoral study, or employment in the non-profit, government, or private sectors.
The Social Sciences Track provides students with practical course work in the various societal disciplines surrounding health, medicine, and overall well-being. Coursework in this concentration includes geography, sociology, anthropology, psychology, international studies, education, and communication. Students looking to pursue careers or graduate study in any social science that studies physical, mental, or planetary health should consider this major.
Students in this track explore the anthropological, sociological, psychological, and geographic determinates of health around the world, from communication to food sources, from geopolitics to community well-being.
