Human Health Science & Systems
Minor
About this Program
The Human Health Science & Systems minor prepares students for the evolving future of health and health care by combining basic human biology with health systems science. This minor provides students not only insight about the scientific basis, but also the social and cultural contexts, of health care. Thus, students will gain an interdisciplinary perspective on health. Coursework also cultivates leadership and teamwork, evidence-based practice, and strong critical analysis and reasoning skills.
Featured coursework:
- Health Systems Science
- Medical Ethics
- Medical Terminology
- Science of Human Health

Geographic Information Science
BS
About this Program
Geographic information science (GISc) and technology provide fundamental knowledge and technological tools to solve geospatial challenges in a wide variety of fields, including urban planning, business and retail, human health and safety, environmental and resource management, and scientific research.
The BS (GISc) program prepares students to collect and manage geospatial data, to analyze and quantify spatial relationships, to evaluate and design maps, and to develop geospatial applications. The objective of this program is to provide rigorous technical training through problem-based and experiential learning, while grounding students in knowledge of fundamental principles of geography and geographic information.

Physiology in Health & Disease
BS
About this Program
This major explores how cellular and tissue structure and function contribute to the unique physiological roles of each body system (cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, immune, muscular, nervous system, renal, reproductive, respiratory, and skeletal), and how these systems have important integrative relationships that underlie the overall physiological functioning of healthy humans.
Understanding the physiology of individual body systems and their integrative functional relationships allows students to appreciate the complexity of human health and how the disruptions of these systems lead to human pathology. Students pursuing pre-health careers, especially clinical exercise physiology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, and similar health areas will all benefit from this program.
