Health promotion remains a strategic area of study where students are interested, job opportunities are consistent, and employers seek these key skills. The Health promotion minor focuses on improving health and wellbeing at the individual, community and population levels. This minor allows you to develop a strong understanding of the social, behavioural, environmental and policy factors that influence health and health-related behaviours.
Health data and epidemiology is a core area of public health with a growing demand in terms of workforce. The Health data and epidemiology minor focuses on understanding the distribution and determinants of health and disease in populations through the collection, analysis and interpretation of health data. This minor allows you to develop a strong understanding of epidemiological methods, biostatistics and health data analytics that complement a range of majors across health, science and social science disciplines.
Global health is the core discipline of public health, with a growing demand and popularity that aligns with the University’s Global Immersion Guarantee program and other Flagship Rich Educational Experiences offerings. The Global health minor focuses on understanding health issues that transcend national boundaries and the social, cultural, environmental and political factors that influence health outcomes worldwide. This minor allows you to develop a strong understanding of global health challenges and opportunities that complement a range of majors across health, social sciences and related disciplines.
Health systems and policy draws on historical and contemporary insights from public health, health economics, political science, healthcare management, sociology and policy studies to examine the complex factors that influence health systems and health reform. The Health systems and policy minor focuses on the organisation, governance, financing and delivery of healthcare services, and the policies that shape health outcomes within and across populations. This minor allows you to develop a strong understanding of how health systems operate and how policy decisions influence access to healthcare, quality of care and population health.
