Academic Year:
MINOR IN PUBLIC HEALTH
Public Health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private sectors, communities and individuals.
The minor in Public Health provides an interdisciplinary opportunity to develop practical skills in program development and increase knowledge in the areas of social systems and policy as well as leadership. The minor is available to students of all disciplines and offers a greater appreciation for the application of public health concepts to your field of study.
The minor requires 18 credit hours which are distributed as follows: Three required core courses (9 credits), and three elective courses (9credits). At least three of the nine elective credits must be chosen from outside your major. In addition to the 18 required credits, one three-credit statistics course must be taken as a co-requisite to achieve the minor. All courses included in the minor must be completed with a C- or better.
