The Health and the Environment concentration explores the key determinants of human health, including physiological, social, psychological, spiritual, dietary and environmental factors. This concentration incorporates studies in chemistry, basic and environmental biology, human development, sociology, cultural anthropology, psychology, and religion. Biology graduates completing the Health and the Environment concentration will be prepared for entry into Allied Health programs including accelerated or second degree BS programs or direct-entry MS programs in nursing. Graduates with the Health and the Environment concentration will also be prepared for advanced training in nutrition and diatetics (students should substitute CHEM 106 with CHEM 205 and BIOL 238) health education, public policy, and clinical study management.
