Public Health Minor
Description
The public health minor at UM has been designed for students as an introduction to public health as a discipline. The coursework for the minor will build public health knowledge and skills for students interested in protecting and promoting the health of people and their communities. This minor is open to students in pre-professional health tracks (e.g., medicine, dentistry, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, allied health), in fields that incorporate an overall health and wellness focus (e.g., nutrition, social work, communication sciences and disorders), or other disciplines that potentially intersect with the public health system.
