Indigenous Health Studies, Minor

Department of Applied Indigenous Studies

College of Social and Behavioral Sciences

This minor allows you to study health issues facing indigenous people.

A minor is a secondary field of academic study that allows students to broaden their knowledge, enhance their major field of study, or pursue a personal interest without committing to another major, while still obtaining a credential on their transcript.
To receive a minor (15 - 24 units) at Northern Arizona University, you must complete a planned group of courses in a specific discipline or interdisciplinary area with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 that is earned in conjunction with a bachelor's degree. At least 12 units of the minor must be unique to that minor and not applied to any other minor.

In addition to University Requirements:

Students may be able to use some courses to meet more than one requirement. Contact your advisor for details.
