The
proposed Health Studies undergraduate degree program is designed for students
interested in a health-related major. The Health Studies major combines a
foundation in sciences, humanities, and social sciences with a breadth of
courses within one or more departments from the College of Health and Nursing
Sciences. In addition to the major
requirements, which represent the health focus of the college, students will
select an area of concentration or an existing University minor outside the
college that will build on students’ personal and career objectives and
interests in the health and fitness area. This major is designed for students
who have a broad interest in working in the health field in a variety of
settings.
