Description
The health and wellness studies minor is designed to complement and enrich interdisciplinary learning at Binghamton University.

This knowledge will be applied to effectively assess, plan, motivate, and implement health-promoting behaviors and cultivate lifelong wellness for diverse populations. These educational experiences provide students with the understanding to integrate core concepts and pursue careers in health and wellness. Our mission is to provide a broad foundation in health promotion and wellness education to encourage healthy living, both personally and professionally.
