HSP 499 - HEALTH, SOCIETY AND POPULATIONS CAPSTONE (SUBTITLE REQUIRED)

College of Arts & Sciences

Credit(s): 3

This course provides an integrative experience for HSP majors in their junior or senior year. The seminar format fosters integration of the program’s interdisciplinary coursework, while providing the opportunity to focus on a particular area of interest within the topical theme of the seminar. Students will engage in a variety of activities designed to increase their understanding of the theoretical and methodological approaches that characterize the HSP perspective. They will then use this perspective to design or evaluate a project that addresses health change. The course will consist of seminar sessions, smaller peer group meetings, and individualized tutorial sessions. Students will learn to critically and respectfully engage with the work of their peers and effectively communicate the results of their projects. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.

Prereq: Junior or Senior standing in HSP, or permission of instructor.
