Graduate Minor in Arts in Public Health at Drexel University
Arts have long been linked to creativity, change, and the power to transform lives. The Dornsife School of Public Health’s graduate minor in Arts in Public Health focuses on the vitality and power of arts to transform individuals, neighborhoods, communities, and society.
As the first U.S. school of public health with a graduate minor in Arts in Public Health, the Dornsife program is built on an unflinching commitment to justice, equity, and human rights, and emphasizes the vital roles of community engagement, citizen activism, and multi-sector collaboration. With innovation, creativity, and social imagination at its center, the program integrates knowledge, action, research, and policy through a foundational course (CHP 530) and three additional courses from a lengthy list of approved electives.
Graduate minors are designed to complement students' training by providing basic knowledge in topics outside their primary discipline. All matriculated graduate students in quarter programs are eligible to enroll.
Students must receive approval from their home program, the Dornsife School of Public Health, and the Arts in Public Health program director and complete the necessary paperwork with the DSPH Academic Advising Team.
