Global One Health Minor

The Global One Health Academy is excited to announce that registration is now open for the new Undergraduate Minor of Global One Health! Through this minor, students will employ interdisciplinary perspectives and systems thinking to key Global One Health issues.


About the Minor

The Global One Health minor is a 15-credit program exploring the interconnections between human, animal, plant, and environmental health. Students employ interdisciplinary perspectives and systems thinking to key Global One Health issues including emerging infectious diseases, challenges to sustainable food and water sources, climate change, and health disparities. The minor offers flexibility in course selection, catering to various interests and career goals in Global One Health. Through a curriculum that includes foundational courses, specialized electives, and experiential learning opportunities, students will gain critical skills and experience to address complex global challenges.

Admission to the Minor

To enroll in the program, students must have completed at least 12 hours of NC State coursework and maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA. Applications for any University minor, including this program, can now be submitted through the MyPack Portal. Admission relies primarily on the student’s academic performance and does not need departmental approval. Students are encouraged to declare their minor early via the “Add a Minor” option in the portal to secure seats in courses typically reserved for majors and minors of the department. Those looking to transfer a course from another institution to count towards the minor should consult the minor’s advisor, Dr. Kristen Sullivan.
