Public Health-related Minors

Health, Behavior, and Society

This minor examines the psychological and societal structures and mechanisms that affect human health and health behavior. The Health, Behavior and Society minor is intended for students who want to explore a secondary interest in the social or behavioral medicine, or those who wish to apply the skills of their major concentration to population health. For students whose major falls within the Humanities or Natural Sciences Divisions, completing a Health, Behavior and Society minor will fulfill the Social Science requirement.
