Minors

Undergraduates have three minor options that are offered by the School of Health. 

Global Health Minor

The Global Health minor is for students at the School of Health, School of Nursing, College of Arts and Sciences, and McDonough School of Business. It exposes students to the fields of international affairs, health science, and global public health health — all with an emphasis on how environment, culture, economics and politics impact the health status of whole populations. The minor will provide students with a deeper understanding of the complex health issues facing communities around the world and a global perspective that can inform their work in any field. Through coursework and engagement with diverse global contexts, students cultivate innovative skills to analyze and address factors that influence population health and strengthen their global health knowledge.

Public Health Minor

The Public Health minor is open to students in the Georgetown College of Arts and Sciences, the McDonough School of Business, the School of Foreign Service, the School of Nursing, and the School of Health. This minor approaches health from an interdisciplinary perspective to promote health and well-being of all individuals, while providing students with a core knowledge of public health so they are prepared for further study and scholarship in the field. Students should declare through their home school’s minor declaration process.
