This model, which has been embraced at both the state and national levels in the wake of the Affordable Care Act, is on the forefront of health and health studies in recognizing the needs of the “whole person.” Courses in this program draw on the fields of sociology, psychology, anthropology, neuroscience and medicine. Building on this model, the CBH degree prepares students for professions that promote and increase the physical, emotional, psychological, and social well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
The Community and Behavioral Health degree is designed to meet the needs of students with interests in the health-related fields of medicine, dentistry, occupational therapy, community/public health, health psychology, mental health counseling, medical social services work (including care coordination), rehabilitation counseling, health(care) research, (community) health policy. This program allows students to customize a program of study from a wide range of electives across psychology, sociology, anthropology, and technology courses to meet their academic and career goals.
