Program Description:

Human science is the perfect degree for people whose interests are interdisciplinary. Psychology, sociology, anthropology, criminal justice, political science, linguistics, organizational development, mind-body medicine - human science enables students to use a variety of approaches and subjects and combine them in ways best suited to addressing their interest.
Human science re-opens the conversations between science, art, and philosophy, and offers a crucial
human centered perspective on contemporary life. Scholars of human science study topics as diverse as urban violence; effective community organizing; the interactions of global cultures; bioethics; social change among indigenous people; cross-cultural gender roles; alternative health care; altered states of consciousness; the effect of intervention programs; the development of effective educational systems, and much more.
That's why people from a broad range of career paths and backgrounds come to Saybrook to study human science - because through it they can design a unique transdisciplinary plan to focus on their academic and professional goals. Human science graduates work in a variety of settings and fields including schools and universities, community health centers, alternative health treatment, occupational therapy, government, community service organizations, popular media and culture, architecture, domestic violence prevention, the juvenile justice system, social entrepreneurship, community organizing, public policy research, and social advocacy.
