Biology, Development and Health ("BD&H"): This concentration focuses on human health across developmental stages, from cellular and biological systems to personal health experiences. Students in this track will investigate fundamental biological and physiological mechanisms and their impact on healthy social and emotional growth across a lifetime.
The curriculum explores health and wellness, including mental health, through multiple lenses - analyzing how biological, cultural, social, and environmental factors shape individual health outcomes.
You'll examine health determinants spanning biological, psychological, cultural, and environmental domains, exploring how genetics, personality traits, beliefs, and competencies affect developmental health. The program also investigates cultural and community influences on health practices, studying both beneficial and detrimental interactions between groups and their environments.
