Requirements & Declaration
What courses do I need to complete for the Global Health minor?
You can find information about requirements for the Global Health minor on the Global Health Minor Worksheet.
I’ve completed the prep requirements and I have the minimum GPAs needed to declare, so where do I go to declare the minor?
You can submit your petition to declare the Global Health minor on our website.
Note: students must be able to complete the minor within their Degree Expected Term. If not, students may need to submit additional paperwork.
Is there a deadline to declare the Global Health minor?
The benefit of pursuing the Global Health minor is there are no strict deadlines at this time. However, we encourage students to prioritize completing the minor prep requirements as soon as possible to be eligible to declare the minor.
Can I overlap courses with my major?
Yes, but there is a limit as to how many courses can overlap with your major and the Global Health minor. You must have at least 20 minor exclusive units for Global Health (this includes lower division & upper division units). In other words, the 20 minor exclusive units are courses that are solely being applied toward the minor. The 20-unit minor exclusive requirement also applies to overlap with 2nd majors and other minors (GE & Honors Courses are not impacted by the overlap limit). Also, make sure to check with the department offering your other major/minor since they may have their own overlap restrictions.
Can I take all of my Upper Division Theme Electives in the same Theme area?
No. You are only allowed to take up to two courses from any one theme area. You can refer to the Global Health Minor Worksheet for theme areas.
Do I need to have a certain amount of Upper Division units for the minor?
Yes, you must have at least 20 Upper Division units for the Global Health minor. If students decide to take 2-3 unit Upper Division courses for the minor, they might need to take an extra UD course to fulfill the 20 unit UD requirement or take a 5 unit course instead.
