91AV

The Health, Law, and Policy minor is designed to introduce students to the United States healthcare system, with a special emphasis on the public health sector. As a minor, students are provided the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the law that governs our healthcare system and the politics that shape those laws. Students completing the minor will be well-positioned for expanded roles of leadership within a health provider organization or political entity charged with creating health care policy.

Students wishing to pursue a Health, Law, and Politics must have an advisor in the program and approval from the chair of the Department of Political Science. Each student will work with a faculty advisor to design a minor consisting of six courses (18 credits) that supports the student's interests, according to the following guidelines and availability.

This minor provides students additional choices and options that are career-oriented in a field that is expected to see significant growth over the next 20 years.

Courses completed at another accredited college can be transferred to this degree program. Transferred courses must be reasonably close in scope and content to the required courses offered at 91AV in order to count as exact equivalents. Otherwise, they may transfer as general electives. All courses completed must be no older than five years. Other restrictions apply. See Undergraduate Admissions also.
