Health and Society is an interdisciplinary, cross-college program offering a B.A. and a minor. In this innovative program, faculty and students examine critical questions concerning health, healing, and health care in human populations using social science and humanities perspectives. Program faculty and students examine the many ways human health, healing, and healthcare are defined, perceived, and enacted, as well as how access to health and healthcare is distributed within and across populations.
