Description
Title: Health Studies Minor
Location: US
Company: Education
This Haverford-Bryn Mawr minor explores the intertwined areas of health, disease, and social justice. We offer unparalleled training for students interested in confronting complex real-world health problems and creating solutions. Multidisciplinary in approach and collaborative in spirit, our curriculum embraces the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities.
Our growing menu of courses follows three tracks: mechanisms of disease and maintenance of health (often biology and psychology courses); cultural, literary, and visual representations of health and illness (often anthropology and literature courses); and responses of social, civic, and governmental structure to issues of health and disease (often anthropology, history, and social work courses). Minors must complete one class from each track.
We also require minors to take an introductory level course and a senior-level capstone course, both of which bring a range of perspectives to bear on a series of specific health-related issues. Our capstone course culminates with students examining a single health issue from their own disciplinary perspective and delineating new directions for research.
