Minor in Health
A Minor in Health serves as an excellent support field for many majors. The minor consists of 21 hours in health including HLTH 1360, HLTH 1366, HLTH 2391, and additional hours from health courses with at least 6 of those hours advanced. If an internship in the minor is desired, students must include HLTH 4393 and HLTH 4394 in their course selections.
Non-Health University Majors that may select a Health Minor include: Business, Communication, Criminal Justice, Education, History, Kinesiology, Psychology, Sociology, and others.
The health minor may also be selected as one of the three minors required of the Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree and may also be combined with an Associate Degree in Allied Health for a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences Degree. Interested students should see the advisors for the B.L.S or B.A.A.S degrees for specific degree requirements.
