What is Health Sciences?
The health sciences are concerned with the development of knowledge and programs related to health and well being. This field encompasses many majors. Some programs focus on identifying practices that directly improve patient health. Others focus on the physical activity, biological, behavioral and sociocultural mechanisms and processes that affect health status and aging. Health science is also concerned with the study of leisure and cultural phenomena within their related environments and in the context of opportunities and practices integral to the well being of groups and individuals. The health science major prepares students for work in schools, businesses, medical care settings, and the community as health educators. A degree in health science equips students with a variety of educational tools and techniques to use in their health professions by emphasizing both health behavior theories and practical application through educational programming and voluntary service in the field
