Students in Interdisciplinary Health Studies take courses in: • health and life sciences (biology, biochemistry, psychology) • ethics and philosophy • social issues and culture

Students also pursue specialized studies through a concentration in one of three innovative topic areas: • Health equity and diversity • Health analysis • Environment and health
