Overview

Key features

The B.A. in Health Humanities at Pennsylvania State University draws together perspectives from the humanities, social sciences, and the arts to educate us about the role of health, disease, and medicine in the human experience.

Students in the Health Humanities cultivate empathy, embrace ambiguity, approach problems from a variety of perspectives, and practice self-care, all essential to effective health care practice and to a humanistic approach to studying and representing health and illness.

The multiple methods and disciplines in Health Humanities are inherently suited to complement existing biomedical approaches to the study of health and illness.
