This Health Care Issues minor is designed for students in any major who are interested in careers in the health care industry. The minor consists of interdisciplinary coursework in anthropology, ethics, political science, psychology, sociology and integrative health sciences. The minor introduces students to the changing American health care system (PE 315), sociological issues with regard to health, illness and the medical institution (SY 375), ethical issues in medicine (RE 453), and much more. Students also are required to complete five interdisciplinary courses for a total of 15 credit hours. The program is flexible enough to be shaped to a student's particular health care interests, yet requires an interdisciplinary selection of courses to provide the well-rounded framework necessary for working in a health care setting.
