Health Professions

The Division of Health Professions offers a fifteen-unit multidisciplinary undergraduate minor with many possibilities for a program of study, and it is appropriate with most majors. The minor provides students majoring in fields outside the health professions the opportunity to gain a breadth of knowledge and understanding of the challenging health issues facing a multicultural society.

The Division also offers the Complementary and Alternative Health Practices Certificate and Minor that are designed to provide a strong academic understanding of the theory, practice and effectiveness of complementary and alternative medical (CAM) therapies. Emphasis is on critical thinking skills and using a scientific evidence-based eye, while keeping an open mind. Classes will form the basis for evaluating CAM therapies commonly practiced by U.S. residents.
