LC 201 - Learning Community: Community Health Issues

Three Credits
Fall and Spring Semester

In this course, students will examine the development, prevention and treatment of common diseases and ailments affecting the U.S. population. We will learn about health problems ranging from obesity and heart disease to relationship violence and eating disorders. In addition, we will explore factors that increase an individual’s risk for these health issues such as culture, gender, race and the environment. Students will engage through real world examples and service learning conducted in the local community. We will utilize a grassroots approach to identify the needs of a population and work with them to develop an educational project or intervention to help address that need.

Corequisite(s): Students must also take ANT 328  and IND 201  as part of this Learning Community.
