Health Studies helps students understand the major determinants of health (e.g. health behaviors, clinical care, social/environmental determinants of health) and find their place within the health care field. A degree in Health Studies also offers excellent preparation for a range of pre-professional and graduate programs including nursing, public health, and health care administration.
