Minor in Environmental Health

The minor in environmental health offers practical course material to complement programs in nutrition, dietetics, biology, environmental science, and biomedical science. It could also complement some engineering disciplines, such as chemical engineering and biomedical engineering. The course selection gives students a significant introduction to the effect of various environmental factors—including intrinsic biological rhythms, pathogenic microbes, and toxic chemicals—on the health and well-being of people.

The minor requires a minimum of 24 credits. As many as 9 of these credits can be counted toward some majors, such as bioscience and environmental science.
