Overview
The minor in Culture, Health, and Human Development (CHHD) is an interdisciplinary minor that fosters an integrative cultural perspective on human development and health, including issues related to diversity both within and across various populations. By providing students an opportunity to explore systematic relationships among culture, health, and human development, the minor can address gaps between the traditional disciplines. It is intended to improve understanding and respect across perceived cultural, racial, and ethnic boundaries, and to encourage culturally informed approaches in the social and health services.
Requirements
Fifteen credits at the 2000-level or above are required for the CHHD minor, to be chosen from the courses listed below. No more than six credits can be applied from any one category: culture, health, or human development. Further, students can count toward this minor no more than six credits in their major. Other credit restrictions may apply by major. The CHHD minor is organized by the Center for the Study of Culture, Health, and Human Development, and managed by the Department of Human Development and Family Sciences.
The CHHD minor is the product of collaboration between the Center for the Study of Culture, Health, and Human Development, and faculty, department heads, and deans from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources, and the College of Nursing. It includes 54 designated classes offered by 17 departments in three of UConn’s schools and colleges, and is open to students majoring in any program.
