Students with an interest in health and wellness can complement their major area of study with a minor in health and wellness promotion.

Students can choose from a variety of health promotion courses that focus on improving health and wellness behaviors and addressing health challenges among individuals and groups of all ages and diverse backgrounds including children and adolescents, adults, veterans, athletes, families, older adults, and individuals with chronic illness and/or disability.

Courses include competencies in needs assessment, health behavior change, program planning and evaluation, effective professional communication, and cultural humility. The minor also provides opportunities for applied learning and hands-on experiences through an optional internship experience.
