Curriculum
Public Health education is most firmly embedded in knowledge systems through research and practice. The minor curriculum requires a period of directed or special studies where students have the opportunity to translate their didactic knowledge into tangible projects within the rubric of public health practice.
Catalogue Rights policy dictates that continuing students and transfer students can choose the version of the Public Health minor requirements that they would prefer in accordance with the timeframes they are enrolled at UCI or a community college.
All students must meet the University Requirements.
