Introduction to Public Health, BC0032, is a course designed to provide an overview of the U.S. Public Health System. This course should be taken before the senior year. When necessary, alternative courses in survey research methods that may be taken are SOC 102, Political Science 160 or BC212. To insure depth in the concentration, the student should select five elective courses in an interest area cluster with approval of the concentration advisor. Individual planning is important.
Study abroad is encouraged, but requires advance planning.
The student will be required to have a course in each of the folowing two areas. Either Sociology 110, Psychology 9, CogSci 9 or the equivalent, to be approved by the concentration advisor. A senior project is required of all concentrators. It is also possible to extend the senior project to qualify as an Honors thesis. Maintain a 3.6 grade point average within the concentration and a 3.3 average in non-concentration courses.
