Health Concentration

The Health Concentration draws from a number of disciplines to explore healthcare issues, public health topics, and factors related to physical and emotional well-being. It will provide a generalist’s understanding of the vast array of concerns that affect health professions. Students might work in health departments, health education settings, and organizations that do not require specialized skills. In addition, it may serve as a stepping-stone for graduate studies.
