Enrich your educational experience

Pursuing a minor in public health provides a strong foundation in the relationships between culture and health and how the design and implementation of health policies affect the general public. The public health minor provides students with a general background in public health while examining environmental issues, health disparities, quality of health care programs and accessibility to health care.

Public health is a broad discipline, and professionals in the field often find themselves involved in everything from identifying diseases to creating public policy to helping refugees integrate into new communities. Adding a minor in public health is a good companion to other Ecampus online degree programs, such as:

• Environmental economics and policy or environmental sciences – Focus on environmental health factors including indoor and outdoor pollution, climate change and other external factors that can affect the world's population.
• Human development and family sciences, psychology or sociology – Set yourself apart with the holistic knowledge of issues that influence the overall health of communities or regions to better communicate with underserved populations.
