I think I know what I want to major in for university.
Health Promotion/Health Studies, with either a minor in sexuality studies, or as a double major with women's studies. Or possibly just health promotion on its own.

How does that sound? Weird? Awesome? Both?

1. Sounds okay to me.
With the eye to doing what professionally? Being a health counselor of some sort?

2. Well, I either want to be some kind of sex educator, or harm reduction counsellor.
So, I guess it all ties in?

3. Sounds good.
You should however consider going past a BS to get a MS in Public Health if you want to do that.:)

5. Interestingly enough...
A bunch of the schools I'm looking at count Health Studies as a BA. Technically, they usually put it in the "applied sciences" category, but it's still a BA for some reason.
