Graduate nursing minor
The College of Nursing offers the Integrated Determinants of Health minor for students enrolled in other colleges. This minor assists students in understanding the development of health and disease within the broader social determinants framework. Students will examine—not only certain behaviors as a cause of disease—but also explicate the underlying determinants of the behavior. Coursework explores the consequences of risky behaviors among vulnerable populations, including morbidity and mortality.
The minimum number of hours to complete the minor is 15, to a maximum of 20 quarter credit hours. Students select from the following courses:
Nursing 915: Psychobiobehavioral Phenomena Underlying Determinants of Health Status (offered winter, 5 credits)
Nursing 916: Psychosocial Mechanisms Underlying Determinants of Health Disparities (offered spring, 5 credits)
Nursing 917.01: Seminars in Determinants of Health, study of psychobiobehavioral phenomena (offered autumn, 3 or 5 credits)
Nursing 917.02: Seminars in Determinants of Health, study of psychosocial phenomena (offered autumn, 3 or 5 credits)
To apply, please e-mail Dr. Linda Bernhard
