Health Sciences / Minor
Program: HLTH
Minor Credit Hours: 20
Require a 2.0 minimum GPA to declare the minor. Minors in Health Sciences may take the same Biology class only two times. If a student has not achieved a minimum of a "C-" after the second attempt, the student may not repeat the class.
The Biology Department will award three hours of credit for the General Education class BIOL 10000 Introduction to Biology when the students have received a score of 4 or 5 on AP tests. No credit is awarded for major (or Health Sciences minor) classes based on AP scores.
Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Chemical Physics, Environmental Science, Mathematics, Nursing, and Physics majors may not minor in Health Sciences. The students will be advised by the Biology Department.
Liberal Arts majors who choose to complete the Health Sciences minor as one of their two required minors must complete two unduplicated upper-division science-based or mathematics-based courses at Lewis University. In order to satisfy the upper-division requirement when this minor is applied to the Liberal Arts major, students who have completed 20 lower-division credit hours in courses listed above may request that two additional upper-division science-based or mathematics-based courses in other departments be approved by the advisor and Dean.
