Finding the intersection of the Humanities and STEM

As a student who has harbored an interest in both academic disciplines, the College of Arts and Sciences provides me with programs to gain knowledge in both fields. The intersection that I study specifically is Political Science and Biology. Political Science is a vast department that is open to all interests, whether a student is either pre-law or pre-med. As a pre-law student who is interested in medical malpractice, Political Science provides a strong foundation in writing and analytical thinking; two things that are vital for a strong law school career. Yet, these subjects do directly introduce me to the biological side of medical malpractice. This is where Biology and Bioethics contributes to my program. Within this legal field, the knowledge of medical terminology and coverage of ethical practices is very important. These principles are confronted in the Bioethics classes I take along with my political science classes. Overall, my program is fit to help me both gain knowledge and interest in these two fields, while also preparing me for my law school career.
