*In completing the requirements for the minor, a minimum of twelve (12) units, of which at least six (6) must be upper division, must be distinct and different from the units used to complete the requirements of the major. Any units above this minimum requirement, which can be used to satisfy both the requirements for the minor and for the major may be double counted. General education courses, however, may be used to meet minor requirements.
**Course electives that have been added to Health Promotion since original approval of the Health Science minor.
***Students desiring to prepare to take the REHS exam should select the PUBH 401, Epidemiology option under core requirements.
