Capstone Guidelines. Each Health & Society undergraduate career will culminate in a Capstone experience requiring the student to synthesize and integrate a body of work within this major, and in conjunction with an upper-level course that emphasizes an inter- or multi-disciplinary way of knowing. The two normal options for this capstone are ANTH 4318 “Health in Cross-Cultural Perspective” or ANTH 4343 “Biomedicine, Culture & Power”. Providing undergraduates with an opportunity for reflection and sustained focus, this experience will employ skills, knowledge and methodologies taught throughout the undergraduate major. The Capstone experience ends with an essay, proctored late in the term by the Director of Undergraduate Studies for Health and Society. The Capstone instructor has the authority to deny admittance to any student for their course. Read more on the Capstone Guidelines.
Distinction Process. The Health & Society Program offers Majors with outstanding academic records the opportunity to apply for Distinction. If awarded, graduation with departmental distinction is designated on the diploma. A Health and Society Distinction project is a substantial investment of time, typically 2 semesters, and involves original research. Read more on the Distinction Process.
