Why choose to minor in CHS?
Health extends far beyond medicine. The CHS minor explores how communities, healthcare systems, and social issues collectively shape health and wellbeing. This interdisciplinary perspective pairs well with any major and equips you with transferable skills for diverse careers while preparing you to meaningfully interact with patients and communities.
Declare the Minor
Any advisor can declare you in one of our four undergraduate minors or you can declare a minor online. You should also schedule an appointment with advisor John McNeil to discuss minor requirements.
