Academics at ESF: Undergraduate Minors
Public Health
Coordinator: Dr. Lee Newman
The Public Health minor will be available to students in all majors who want to increase their knowledge of the impact of public health issues and administration on human and human population health. Some of the directed elective courses have additional pre-requisites, and students must investigate this before making up their proposed course plan.
Interested students (GPA 2.7 required in order to apply) must submit a petition, with a list of potential courses to fulfill the minor requirements to (a) their faculty advisor, (b) the undergraduate curriculum coordinator of their home department and (c) the public health minor coordinator, with final approval from the Dean of Instruction and Graduate Studies. Many of these courses are offered at Syracuse University.
