The health policy minor is a great addition to public health, nursing, social work, and similar majors. The courses for this minor provide the foundation for students to develop analytical skills to enter the  healthcare sector with a solid policy and economics background and strong decision-making capabilities  to lead and influence. The minor prepares and empowers students to take their policy and economics  skills into the healthcare field. With the rapid expansion of health care, this minor is also designed to provide a wealth of employment options for students to assess health, healthcare services, policies, and interventions. Students are required to do an internship during their capstone course to ensure career readiness.  Open to students from the College for Women and the College for Adults.
