Undergraduate Study in Bioethics

The Health and Societies major provides an exciting, intellectually-coherent and practical education for undergraduates preparing for careers in the health professions or for a health care specialization in fields such as law, government, journalism, and business. The major is organized around a set of core courses drawn from across the university, in addition to a second set of courses tailored to fit each student's particular interests. Identifying this cluster of courses is a critical part of the Health and Societies major, and is to be undertaken by each student in consultation with a faculty member. Combining both the freedom of an individualized major with the coherence of a core curriculum, Health and Societies challenges students to participate actively in the planning of their education and their future. The core courses are designed to provide the requisite skills and knowledge for later courses and research experiences in the Health and Societies clusters as well as serving as a solid foundation for health-related careers or graduate study.
