HPX Minors

The HPX department now offers three minors. Promoting good health is an interest for many students regardless of major. These minors can enrich major programs such as Nursing, Education, Psychology, Communications, Business, the Natural Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies. Students can choose Exercise Science, Holistic and Integrative Health, or Public Health.

Students accepted into the program are expected to have completed all course prerequisites for the program. To obtain a minor you must notify the Department Chairperson of your interest. Depending upon your major requirements, you may need to take credit hours over the degree credit minimum required for graduation. Please see your adviser to review all program requirements.
