The HPX department now offers three minors. Promoting good health is an interest for many students regardless of major. These minors can enrich major programs such as Nursing, Education, Psychology, Communications, Business, the Natural Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies. Students can choose Community Health, Holistic and Integrative Health or Wellness Management.
Students accepted into the program are expected to have completed all course prerequisites for the program. To obtain a minor you must notify the Department Chairperson of your interest by submitting this form. A copy should also be sent to the Registrar’s Office so that we may add the minor to your transcript. Depending upon your major requirements, you may need to take credit hours over the degree credit minimum required for graduation. Please see your adviser to review all program requirements.
