Bachelor of Arts, Concentration in Health, Science, and Society

Program Overview

The Health, Science, and Society concentration emphasizes the importance of being able to think about complex health-related issues from a variety of perspectives. The concentration is supported by faculty with diverse interests from many departments, and it provides a great opportunity for students from many majors to broaden their view of health topics and strengthen their qualifications towards a variety of professional directions. For those interested specifically in public health, the HSS concentration combined with internship opportunities through the Worcester Division of Public Health offers a good entry point towards this field.

The concentration’s core is built on four main perspectives: biomedical science, social determinants of health, statistics-based data analysis, and ethical considerations. Thinking about health, disease, and medicine at a biomolecular level provides a critical perspective for anyone wishing to have a strong foundation in a health-related field. Considering social, economic, and environmental factors, such as socioeconomic status, education, the physical environment, employment, social support networks, and access to health care leads to a broader understanding of health issues within a society. In both social sciences and biomedical sciences, the appropriate use of statistical analysis of data is required for appropriate and meaningful conclusions to be drawn. Questioning what is good, just, fair, and compassionate provides insight about what a society or individuals should do with the knowledge that is provided by scientific studies of health-related topics.
