The Pathway in Public Health is designed to educate students to explore current local and global health issues, exploring the broad areas of public health with a focus on health disparities in the U.S. Public health focuses on health promotion and on protecting and improving the health of individuals, families, communities, and populations. Our academic courses, experiential learning, study-abroad programs, and career-oriented internships offer a global perspective and allow broad applications to diverse intellectual interests. From the sciences, one might consider biological, chemical and epidemiological studies of medicine and health. From the social sciences, one may study the economic, social, demographic or behavioral factors influencing health outcomes and policies at local, state, federal and/or international levels. Offerings in literature and the arts could include narrative medicine, representations of illness in theater, and/or the study of kinesiology through dance. Our Pathways enables students to make connections across disciplines, to work collaboratively, to hone communication skills and to gain experience and knowledge in public health.
