The public health minor offers students courses in the areas of public health, behavior change, and healthy lifestyles. It is designed for students entering into careers other than health promotion and education, who wish to have a formally-recognized educational training in health. The minor in health is an ideal complement to degrees in gerontology, education, communication, and psychology.

Minor requirements

28 credits total

This minor should be planned with a public health advisor.

Choose 28 credits from health electives (those with a HE prefix). A minimum of 15 of these credits must come from upper division classes (300 to 400 level).
