The biobehavioral health minor offers students insights into living healthier, more balanced lives by exploring how psychological, biological, social, emotional, and cultural factors shape health and well-being. This specialized psychology minor is designed to cultivate a nuanced understanding of the mind-body-environment connection and equip students with a foundation in whole-person health. While beneficial to all students, it is particularly advantageous for those in pre-health programs, as it prepares future practitioners for the complexities of modern healthcare and fosters the mindset needed to deliver effective, equitable, and compassionate care.
