Minor in Public Health
The Drexel University School of Public Health trains new leaders to tackle society's current and future health challenges. The Public Health minor is designed to provide students with a broad overview of the field's diversity. Reflecting the interdisciplinary approach of the School, students are required to take courses originating from various public health disciplines, which include: epidemiology; community health and prevention; environmental and occupational health; and health management and policy.
This minor will be a relevant course of study for students pursuing pre-med, pre-law, biology and business curricula as well as students interested in population-based applications of psychology, sociology and communications theory. Completion of the minor will provide students with an exposure to the breath and depth of topics within public health, population -level challenges and solutions, as well as possible career options.
