Ph.D. Program Overview
An Interdisciplinary Degree
In response to the growing challenges in health care and public health, the Ph.D. Program in Health and Behavioral Sciences was established in 1993 to develop leaders able to address contemporary health issues within the political, economic, cultural, biomedical, and social framework of our society. The program provides an overarching framework integrating social and behavioral science perspectives on health and health care, while allowing the student to select and fully develop a particular research interest and professional career within the health and behavioral sciences. Whether it is the AIDS epidemic, the health effects of high altitude, the cost and quality of health care, the ethics of health care, domestic violence, or cancer prevention, professionals in this field play a central role in pursuing an understanding of the underpinnings of health and the conditions essential for its creation and maintenance.
