Students pursuing health careers often begin their story by saying they’d like to help people. 51ÁÔÆæ’s Health metamajor allows a student to explore the “how.” Students must be ready to make the sciences an integral part of their introductory studies as they explore the hundreds of roles available as health and wellness professionals. Students are grounded in the biological, physical, and social sciences, which are a stepping stone to applications in health, healthcare, and wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
