The minor is designed to help students understand the influences and impact of environmental factors on human health. Students can declare the Environmental Public Health Minor with their major adviser. Descriptions and syllabi for all ENV H courses can be found on the Courses Webpage. Students in the minor are encouraged to contact an Environmental Public Health Adviser if they have questions about course selection.
If an ENV H course is not reflected on your minor degree audit, please reach out to an advisor at ehug@uw.edu with your Student ID number and the specific ENV H course number. An advisor will be able to manually add it to your degree audit.
