Minor in Public Health
The Minor in Public Health consists of five PUBH courses (20 credits) and is intended to expose students in other majors to some of the fundamental concepts in public health.
Students must earn a C or better in each of the courses (or their equivalents) in order to earn the minor. Two courses (up to 8 credits) can be transferred into the minor with the approval of the Program Coordinator.
