These are the types of questions students grapple with in Health and Society. To answer them, students need to reach across disciplinary boundaries. This is why Health and Society faculty span multiple departments within the College of Liberal Arts—from Classics and Religious Studies to Sociology and Psychology—and why we have reached across College boundaries, including faculty members from the Colleges of Natural Sciences, Education, Communications and the LBJ School of Public Affairs.
Lots of faculty members in lots of academic disciplines at UT focus on health in their research, teaching, or both. Health and Society is the only undergraduate major that takes full advantage of this wealth of expertise.
