Ethnic, Cultural and Gender Studies Concentration

The concentration in Ethnic, Cultural, and Gender Studies provides students with a behavioral and social science background which better prepares them to engage in translational research and interdisciplinary studies among the behavioral and social science disciplines.  This concentration would also benefit students in liberal arts as well as science and technology majors.  Social and demographic constructs such as ethnicity, race, cultural perspectives, class, age, and gender impact both the provision of health care in diverse community settings and the creation and implementation of social and public policies related to health services and health disparities.
