There is a large disparity in health status here due to various social, economic, and biological factors. Many health problems need to be addressed in this area, such as low birthweight, preventable hospitalization, obesity and drug use.\u00a0 Therefore, the job prospects in public health are quite favorable in the local community and neighboring states.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0 minor in Public Health consists of five courses (20 credits). All courses in the minor discuss relevant health topics under the interdisciplinary, intercultural, and international scopes. The students will gain knowledge on the history, core values and concepts of public health. They will be able to use tools of public health data collection and evidence-based approaches to identify and address major health needs and concerns of populations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Requirements of the Minor <\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<ol>\n<li>Students are required to take 5 courses\u00a0(lecture and lab co-requisites count as one course)\u00a0to complete this minor.<\/li>\n<li>At least 1\/2 of the courses fulfilling a minor must be distinct from the student\u2019s major.

A school core does not need to be completed for a minor. Minors are open to students regardless of school affiliation.<\/li>\n<li>Not all courses are offered each semester.
