Public Health Minor

Public Health is an interdisciplinary field that combines the evaluation of the structural, behavioral, environmental, and biological determinants of health with evidence-based policy development to protect and improve the health of individuals, families, communities, and populations, locally and globally. The Public Health minor is designed for students interested in pursuing careers that focus on improving public health.
