Minor Undergraduate Program

Public Health & Society Minor: Curriculum Requirements

Total credits required: 18

Required courses (9 credits)

Electives (9 credits)

Students pursuing a Public Health & Society minor must complete three elective courses, totaling nine credits. At least one course must be from the Social, Cultural, and Historical Analysis category. At least six elective credits must be at the 3000 level or above.

New electives will be added to the electives list as they become available and are approved. Students may petition to have an elective added.

Because of limitations within Workday, you will need to ask an advisor to use an “academic override” for Special Topics courses to be counted toward a Public Health & Society degree.

  • PUBHLTHSOC 1000, 2000, and 3000 have no prerequisites and need not be taken sequentially.
  • Students with more than one major/minor may count only introductory (100/1000- and 200/2000-level) courses, where relevant, toward the requirements for the programs. Advanced (300/3000-level and greater) courses may not count for more than one of the programs. If more than one program requires the same course, a departmentally-sanctioned elective must be chosen to replace the course in the other program(s).
