Health policy studies is a broad-based liberal arts major. The objective of the major is to prepare students to be question askers, answer finders, and creative thinkers within the interdisciplinary subject of health policy. Students who study health policy are often interested in more than one area of health; a required minor helps shape the individual course of study.
Therefore, the curriculum offers the maximum amount of flexibility and self-determination, allowing individual students to pursue different courses while still being in the same major. For example, student A may be interested in studying sciences as a prerequisite to graduate school in environmental health; student B could be interested in business and economics; and student C could be preparing for international relief work.
Student AImagine a classroom with students who have these diverse interests. While everyone follows the same curriculum, individual students bring unique perspectives and offer their classmates opportunities to learn from their experiences and interests. This mix ensures health policy studies is a truly dynamic major.
