The Men’s Health Minor provides a comprehensive understanding of the health and wellness of men through evidence-based curriculum content. Students examine the diverse factors that contribute to the totality of men’s health and well-being, including discernment of existing paradigms that inform men’s health behaviors. Students receive a broad-based understanding of the key determinants of men’s health across culture, class, and race.
