The minor in Culture, Health, and Human Development (CHHD) is an interdisciplinary minor that fosters an integrative cultural perspective on human development and health, including issues related to diversity both within and across various populations. By providing students an opportunity to explore systematic relationships among culture, health, and human development, the minor can address gaps between the traditional disciplines. It is intended to improve understanding and respect across perceived cultural, racial, and ethnic boundaries, and to encourage culturally informed approaches in the social and health services.

Fifteen credits at the 2000-level or above are required for the CHHD minor, to be chosen from the courses listed below. No more than six credits can be applied from any one category: culture, health, or human development. Further, students can count toward this minor no more than six credits in their major. Other credit restrictions may apply by major.
