Current students
The Health and the Humanities certificate program is an excellent way to develop and demonstrate the inter- and intra-personal competencies that are in demand in the health professions.
Students interested in pursuing a career in the health sciences may also benefit from speaking with an advisor at the Center for Pre-Health Advising for advice on applying to health professional programs.
