The Health & Medicine Sociology program provides students with an integrated curriculum focusing on the social, demographic, cultural, political, and ethical factors influencing health behaviors and policies. This minor and subplan address increasing interest among pre-health undergraduates for an LSA program that explores health through a societal lens. Health educators also increasingly acknowledge sociology as an essential component of comprehensive premedical education. Studying Sociology equips you with analytical frameworks to tackle contemporary social challenges. Whether examining inequality, migration, economic hardship, or criminal justice systems, Sociology develops critical thinking abilities, data analysis techniques, and evidence-driven reasoning skills. At its core, Sociology investigates how social forces shape human actions and their outcomes.
