Students interested in public health careers should consider a combination-degree program rather than this minor.

For students in the College of Public Health and Health Professions, successful completion of this minor satisfies the 9-credit college elective requirement and six credits of general elective credit. Therefore, no additional credits beyond 120 are required for graduation with a minor in public health.

Students must have completed the prerequisites for the BPH program with minimum grades of C to be considered for a minor. Prerequisites include:

• Junior status (60+ credits)
• 3.0 overall GPA
• 3.0 prerequisite GPA
• Completion of the following:

Counting Credits for Undergraduate or Graduate Degrees

Undergraduates who are interested in public health as a career path, but do not want to pursue the Bachelors of Public Health, should consider the Bachelors/MPH Combination Degree. This would allow courses taken in a student’s senior year to count toward an MPH degree.
