Science and Health

AAC&U works to advance broad-based systemic innovation to connect science education, especially in general education, to large public questions where scientific inquiry and knowledge are essential. AAC&U also works to support educational leaders in developing an academic focus on health and HIV disease to improve student learning and our common health. AAC&U's work in these areas focuses on improving science education for students who may never major in a scientific field; connecting science reform to more robust and relevant general education programs; encouraging curricular attention to issues of gender and science; and stimulating informed civic engagement with scientific questions.
