Minor in Environmental Public Health

About the Minor

The minor in Environmental Public Health is designed to deepen students' understanding of complex environmental and occupational issues from a population health perspective. Courses examine key global environmental and occupational health topics such as urban health, greenspace, safe drinking water, injury prevention, worker safety, climate change, and risk communication. Upon completion of the minor, students will have a strong grasp on environmental public health challenges facing society and will be prepared for a career in the field or for advanced study.   

Admissions Requirements

Students are required to declare a major before declaring a minor. Students admitted directly into a specific major at the time of matriculation may declare a minor beginning in their second semester. All requirements for the minor must be completed either concurrently with or prior to the completion of the primary major requirements. This ensures that students fulfill the expectations of their primary field of study while completing any additional areas of academic specialization.

Students cannot pursue a major and a minor in the same field of study.
