Minor in Health, Law, and Policy

The Health, Law, and Policy minor is designed to introduce students to the United States healthcare system, with a special emphasis on the public health sector. As a minor, students are provided the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the law that governs our healthcare system and the politics that shape those laws. Students completing the minor will be well-positioned for expanded roles of leadership within a health provider organization or political entity charged with creating health care policy.

Students wishing to pursue a Health, Law, and Policy minor must have an advisor in the program and approval from the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences. Each student will work with a faculty advisor to design a minor consisting of six courses (18 credits) that supports the student's interests, according to the following guidelines and availability.
