Program Description
The One Health minor will guide students to understand how human health is deeply intertwined with the health of animals and the environment, including how disease spreads between animals and humans (zoonotic disease). This foundational knowledge in One Health can be applied in a variety of health promotion programs, prevent the spread of disease, and help prepare students to pursue an advanced degree.
