Courses from a variety of UVI’s colleges of schools help to make this minor accessible to students in most of the University’s degree programs. With this goal in mind a wide range of courses will count towards the electives of this minor in addition to the required in psychology, biology and nursing. Students graduating with a health science minor will be prepared for a wide-range of career options in health fields that will depend on their major field of study or continuing secondary education. Prospective Students should be aware: As currently structured, entry-level courses can be completed on either campus, but the minor will need to be completed on St. Thomas campus. Students must complete the Health Science Minor required and elective courses with a grade of C or higher Required Courses: HEALTH SCIENCES PREREQUISITE(S) CREDITS NUR 100 Medical Terminology None 1 PSY/SOC 241 Social Determinants of Health and Disease ENG 100/WAX 011 ENG 101/RAC 021 Or SAT exemption 3 Bachelor of Science Degree 165 PREREQUISITE(S) CREDITS NUR 201 Consumer Health ENG 100/WAX 011 ENG 101/RAC 021 Or SAT exemption 3 SCI 305 Biology of Health and Disease MAT 140 or MAT 143 ENG 201 3 NUR 310 Introduction to Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care ENG 201 3 Seven credits, minimum of two classes, chosen from the following courses, one of which must be at the 300-level: ACC 342 Managerial Accounting ACC 202, HRM 234 3 ACC 442 Auditing ACC 302 3 BIO 151 or 261 Human Anat. and Physiol.
