卫生，社会与政策科学学士学位

卫生，社会和政策（HSP）计划解决了人类健康的多维特征。健康状况可能与病原体或疾病以外的因素有关：生活方式，环境暴露，社会经济状况，文化背景，沟通不畅，对医疗指示的依从性差或无法获得医疗服务都可以促进个人的健康。参加该计划的学生将获得广泛的跨学科基础，以了解健康状况，从而使他们能够在多维环境中灵敏有效地解决医疗保健问题：例如，个人的地理位置，识字率或社会经济状况可能会影响他们获得医疗服务的能力或获得医疗保健或饮食健康。HSP的学生将学习各个领域的课程，包括流行病学，行为科学，研究方法和定量技能，管理，哲学
The Health, Society and Policy (HSP) Program addresses the multidimensional characteristics of human health. Health status may be related to factors beyond pathogens or illness: lifestyle, environmental exposures, socioeconomic status, cultural affiliation, poor communication, or access to health services can all contribute to an individual's health. Students in this program are given the broad, interdisciplinary foundation for understanding health, allowing them to sensitively and effectively address health care issues in multidimensional contexts: for example, the geographic location, literacy, or socioeconomic status of an individual might impact their ability to access or obtain healthcare or eat a healthy diet. HSP students take courses from a variety of fields, including epidemiology, behavioral sciences, research methods and quantitative skills, administration, philosophy, and history. This coursework provides students with a coherent perspective on health care in its various social and administrative contexts. The culminating experience of the program is a capstone, delivered as an interdisciplinary series of seminars on a particular theme related to the major.
