Level II Regential Form

I Summary of Proposed Changes
Department/program
Global Public Health – unattached minor
Summary
The proposed undergraduate minor in Global Public Health at
The University of Montana will focus learning on existing and
emerging public-health issues in transnational context. The
proposed minor will enrich the education each student receives
within their chosen major and provide opportunities for
participating students to advance their knowledge regarding
health policy and science and skill in interacting within an
increasingly diverse population and illness base. Students who
pursue the interdisciplinary minor will develop critical-thinking,
research-based learning, and community-outreach skills as they
engage the social/cultural, economic, political, and science
dimensions of global public health. Students who pursue the
Global Public Health minor also will enhance their major field
of study by preparing for a broad range of professions and
graduate programs where they can promote global, local, and
tribal public-health knowledge, research, and practice. The 21credit minor will build upon the expertise of our faculty by
utilizing the rich array of courses and other learning
opportunities (e.g., in Anthropology, Biology, Health and
Human Performance, Political Science, Sociology, Public
Health) related to global public health currently available at The
University of Montana.
