Minor in Health Sciences
Admission to the Minor is open to students in any discipline if their faculty has a provision for a minor and they have successfully completed 60 ch of course work and earned an average grade of C or better in all courses. Application to the Minor is normally made in the second year of a student’s program for admission in year 3. Students must select the Minor in consultation with the Health Sciences Administrator for Science, Applied Science & Engineering, and this should normally be done at the same time as they declare a Major. The Minor requires 24 ch of course work, a maximum of 12 ch to be taken at the lower level and a minimum of 12 ch to be taken at the upper level. To earn the Health Sciences Minor, students must successfully complete the health science course requirements of HSCI 2001 , HSCI 4144 plus a minimum of 6 ch in each of two of the following groupings: 1) physical sciences, 2) social sciences / humanities / business or 3) behavioral sciences.
