This fall Georgia College is making available its new Global Health minor for the first time. While some students may be interested in the minor but be unsure because their majors have nothing to do with nursing or public health. Dr. Sallie Coke, associate professor of Nursing, said this minor is for anyone that has an interest in studying health on a macro scale.
The minor combines various different classes and fields of study, including courses in Kinesiology, Geography and Public Health. It also includes a required international fieldwork experience, to be possibly located in the Philippians, Honduras or Belize. One quality about this minor that may attract students is that its diverse coursework allows for overlap with several major fields of study.
The object behind the overlapping courses is to hopefully boost the amount of GC graduates who leave with a major, as well as a minor. Dr. Sallie Coke and Liz Havey of the International Education Center were the catalysts behind the new minor, but they also reached out to faculty such as professor of geography Dr. Chuck Fahrer and Dr. Scott Butler of the school of Health and Human Performance.
