Health Studies
Use the liberal arts and sciences to solve the world’s current and future health challenges.
Are you interested in healthcare and healing? Welcome!
If you are pursuing medicine, nursing, physical therapy, or a clinical career, the Health Studies minor provides the narrative, psychological, and cultural contexts to supplement your coursework. If you are curious about fields such as public health, counseling, or healthcare policy, the minor offers you the statistical and scientific foundation necessary to pursue your path.
We recognize the central role public health plays in our lives and the value of a liberal arts approach to solving the world’s current and future health challenges. That’s why a multidisciplinary team of faculty here at Lewis & Clark have introduced the Health Studies minor, bringing together coursework, internship experiences, and scholarly activity across the sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
Students in our program have the opportunity to take learning out of the classroom and into the community through health-related internships, community collaborations, and overseas study.
