Public Health
Hours: 15 credits, all completed with grades of C or better

The public health minor allows pre-professional students to acquire public health knowledge that is complementary to their chosen career path. It is specifically designed for students going into careers other than public health who can benefit from public health knowledge in the delivery of their services. A few examples of these careers include anthropology, medicine, occupational therapy, physician assistant, dentistry, nutritional sciences, health education, psychology and environmental engineering. This minor is available to any eligible senior.

Prerequisites for the minor include senior status (90+ credits), overall GPA of 3.0, and completion of general college biology, psychology or sociology, and statistics (STA 2023) with a 3.0 GPA. The minor requires 15 hours of specific graduate level public health course work.

Students interested in this minor can obtain an application and a list of appropriate course work that begins in the senior year from the dean's office (HPNP, Room 4104A).
