This 21-credit undergraduate Minor in Public Health will provide students with coursework focused on the core principles of public health: prevention and health equity, to improve health and well-being on a population level. Through these courses, students will build the foundational knowledge of how to prevent the spread of disease, promote healthy behaviors, and ensure access to health services using global, national, community, and local perspectives. The Public Health Minor is open to all undergraduate students from other programs of study.  Our public health courses emphasize multidisciplinary, collaborative strategies to promote health and prevent disease in populations, which prepares students for both advanced study and diverse careers.
