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 positive social and emotional growth across a lifetime.
The curriculum explores health and wellness topics, including psychological well-being, through multiple lenses - analyzing how biological, cultural, societal, and environmental factors shape individual health outcomes.
You'll examine health determinants spanning biological, psychological, cultural, and environmental domains, investigating how genetic makeup, personal traits, beliefs, and competencies affect developmental health. The program also covers cultural and community influences on health practices, studying both beneficial and detrimental interactions between populations and their environments.
