Diversity and Equity in Health
This interdisciplinary major prepares students for careers in health care, patient care and family support, client advocacy and assistance, health care-related sectors, and for advanced study in allied health. Students develop a diverse range of skill sets and core knowledge to better serve others in health science associated industries.
Beyond the core, three options exist to provide students with different opportunities to structure their interdisciplinary program in areas of their professional interest: Policy and Ethics, Diversity and Equity and Generalist Option.
Diversity and Equity in Health provides students with a background in social determinants of health and health care with an emphasis on understanding and serving marginalized groups.
