Minoring in health care, you’ll take courses in business, health and philosophy or theology that will give you a well-rounded, empathetic perspective for a career in a health-related field. Through integrated coursework, you’ll learn how to analyze trends in health care through actual cases of policy issues at local, state and federal levels.
With a healthcare background, you can pursue a profession in post-acute care or home-based services; finance, HR, marketing or risk management; regulatory agencies or public policy or sales.
The Health Care minor reflects the interdisciplinary nature of how the planning, organizing, delivery, financing, and evaluation of health care happens. It requires completing a combination of 18 credit hours from three main academic areas: Health and Aging Services Leadership, Business, and Arts and Sciences.
This minor complements other health care majors (e.g., nursing, respiratory therapy, exercise science, medical laboratory science, pre-medical studies, psychology, radiation therapy) as well as majors that could be paired with the minor to give necessary insight into the field of health care (e.g., business administration, accounting, finance, communication or theology).
