Undergraduate Minors

The Department of Family and Community Health Sciences offers two innovative undergraduate minors that prepare students to address the complex health challenges facing our communities today. These interdisciplinary programs combine rigorous academic coursework with experiential learning opportunities, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to promote health equity and holistic well-being across diverse populations.

Our minors are designed to complement any major, providing students with specialized expertise that enhances their academic experience and prepares them for meaningful careers in health promotion, community development, social services, policy advocacy, and related fields. Through these programs, students engage with cutting-edge research, work alongside community partners, and develop the critical thinking skills necessary to understand and address the social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health outcomes.

Whether you're passionate about addressing systemic health disparities or interested in promoting comprehensive approaches to wellness, our minors offer pathways to deepen your understanding of community health while building practical skills for professional practice. Students in these programs join a community of scholars and practitioners committed to creating positive change and advancing health equity in their communities and beyond.

These minors reflect our commitment to preparing the next generation of leaders who can bridge theory and practice, engage authentically with diverse communities, and contribute to building a more just and healthy world for all.
