Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Sciences

Overview

Promoting global and public health today requires individuals to not only be knowledgeable of the biological and physical aspects of health, but also the roles played by social and cultural forces.

The B.S. in Health and Human Sciences acknowledges this need by combining coursework in the natural sciences (biology, physics, chemistry) with the humanities (art, history, philosophy) and social sciences (sociology, political science, economics) in a mix that is ideal for students interested in careers in health, but who do not necessarily want to be health care practitioners.

Careers

Graduates of the Health and Human Sciences program will be prepared to enter the workforce in a variety of health-related fields or pursue advanced studies in graduate or professional school.

Careers may include roles as health counselors; science and health writers; policy analysts; and researchers for governmental organizations, consumer groups, and scientific research institutes.

Students will also have an excellent foundation for post-graduate work in law, health services and administration. They may also choose to pursue graduate programs in nutrition, public health, health administration, anthropology, sociology, or other related fields.
