Courses in Health Across the Curriculum

Being educated in the liberal arts means that you learn how to think across boundaries. You may learn about a topic in your chemistry class one day and the next day learn about the same topic from a whole new perspective in a sociology course. As a health professional, becoming a flexible thinker, able to see situations from different angles will mean you can help more people with more complex problems. They will appreciate your insights and you will find more meaning in you work. Below is a list of some of the courses that exemplify boundary crossing courses at SLU.
