Health is a cross-disciplinary field of study relevant in many academic disciplines such as biology, business, sociology, psychology, public service, sports management and exercise science. The minor will serve the purpose of providing students who have an interest in other disciplines with an opportunity to learn the basic physiological, psychological, and social concepts necessary to effectively apply health to their field of study. Physical Education majors should refer to the Health Education Endorsement Requirements.
