Courses of Study 2020-2021 [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Human Biology, Health, and Society

|
In the College of Human Ecology .
The Human Biology, Health, and Society (HBHS) major permits students to combine their interests in the biological sciences while exploring human health issues from the perspectives of both the biological and behavioral sciences. HBHS majors select the issues they want to explore in depth from Human Ecology courses that address health and the broad range of factors that influence human well-being. Issues that can be explored include biology and behavior; metabolism, genetics, and health; biology, growth, and development; and food and health policy and health promotion. Most students in this program will proceed to programs of advanced study to pursue careers related to health. This major is offered by the Division of Nutritional Sciences . More information about this program can be found on the Division of Nutritional Sciences page, which includes descriptions of all of the majors that are offered.

The requirements listed below pertain to all students matriculating in August 2020 and January 2021.
In addition to college requirements , students in the HBHS Major must complete specific requirements listed here.
