Bachelor of Arts in Global Health Studies - Humanities

As the world deals with the aftermath of COVID-19, the Global Health Studies (GHS) program prepares students to work, learn, and lead in a recovering post-pandemic society.The undergraduate major in Global Health Studies offers a truly interdisciplinary academic experience. Coursework for this major includes local and global aspects of health: medicine, prevention, policy, faith, environment, culture, society, and research. Students have multiple pathways available to craft a unique course of study that prepares them for any number of opportunities after graduation, including medical or nursing school, doctoral study, or employment in the non-profit, government, or private sectors.The Humanities Track provides students with insight into the human condition, including how we experience health, illness, medical care, and death. Doctors and nurses look to the humanities for foundations in ethical treatment, compassionate care, and patient narratives. Those outside the healthcare field need to understand connections between the historical aspects of health and medicine and the modern-day practices we face in a post-pandemic society: faith, loss, healing, and recovery.Students in this track dive deeply into the historical and cultural significance of health and medicine, through the lenses of religion, philosophy, ethics, gender, history, literature, art, and music.
