Why ODU for health and wellness?

This minor explores the health and wellness of individuals and societies and how they influence each other. 

Our coursework emphasizes personal responsibility for health, exploring strategies to improve and maintain the health of both individuals and the public.

You also will examine:

  • The individual's role in health policy.
  • The cultural, psychological, sociological, and ethical issues related to the health and wellness and individuals and the society in which they live.

In this interdisciplinary minor, you will take courses from at least two different areas of study. This helps you examine topics from different perspectives and gain a broader understanding of the subject.
