The Health Studies Program offers a social science-focused curriculum that examines the multifaceted elements affecting physical, psychological, and social wellness. Primarily utilizing social science perspectives, the program covers health determinants, health promotion methods, policy development, behavioral modifications, disease patterns, and program design and assessment. Learners also investigate cultural perspectives on health and the body, developing critical thinking skills about wellness in connection with equity issues and societal structures of influence and marginalization.
