Master of Arts [M.A] [Medicine, Health and Society] From Vanderbilt University

Our graduate curriculum draws from the strengths of MHS faculty and affiliated faculty in departments and programs across the University in the College of Arts and Science, Peabody College, the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, the Law School, the Institute for Global Health, Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society, and elsewhere.  Among the areas of inquiry explored within the curriculum are: racial and ethnic health disparities; men’s health; social foundations of health behaviors; health policy; global health; medicine, humanities and the arts; bodies, gender and sexuality. To supplement their degree, MHS graduate students may choose to earn a Certificate of Global Health offered by the Institute of Global Health. Graduate students work with a faculty advisor to select appropriate plan of courses that meets their professional goals.  Detailed MHS program and course descriptions are available in the Graduate Catalog.
