Public Health Minor
The Public Health minor introduces students to population health and interdisciplinary approaches to addressing contemporary health challenges. Required coursework in Introduction to Public Health, Epidemiology, and Global Health builds foundational knowledge, while electives allow students to tailor the minor to their interests and complement their major fields of study.
