The B.S. degree in Community and Behavioral Health (CBH) is interdisciplinary in nature and is built on the biopsychosocial model of health and wellbeing. This model, which has been embraced at both the state and national levels in the wake of the Affordable Care Act, is on the forefront of health and health studies in recognizing the needs of the “whole person.” Courses in this program draw on the fields of sociology, psychology, anthropology, neuroscience and medicine. Building on this model, the CBH degree prepares students for professions that promote and increase the physical, emotional, psychological, and social well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
