Health Studies

Are you passionate about health and making a difference in people’s lives? The Health Studies Major is designed for students who want to explore health and wellness from multiple perspectives, including public health, social science, and healthcare administration.

Rooted in the World Health Organization's holistic definition of health, the program explores physical, mental, and social well-being across diverse contexts. This program lets you dive into topics like global health, medical ethics, epidemiology, and health communication, with the opportunity to specialize in areas such as biotechnology, mental health, or health administration. You'll also complete a hands-on capstone project, where you’ll conduct research or gain real-world experience in the field.

Whether you're interested in public health, hospital administration, health policy, or patient advocacy, this major prepares you for a wide range of careers. Plus, if you’re considering medical, nursing, or allied health programs, you can customize your coursework to meet graduate school prerequisites.
