Minor in Health Equity

About the Program

Health disparities persist in the United States, with significant differences in health outcomes experienced across diverse populations. Addressing these inequities requires a multi-faceted approach that combines deep understanding of the social determinants of health, a commitment to health equity principles, and engagement with communities facing these challenges.

The Health Equity undergraduate minor at Rutgers-New Brunswick is part of President Jonathan Holloway’s Housing and Health Equity cluster hire initiative. It offers a unique interdisciplinary curriculum, drawing upon the strengths of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, School of Social Work, Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, School of Arts and Sciences, and Graduate School of Education to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of health equity and its underlying social, economic, and environmental determinants, with specializations in topics such as Housing, Food Justice, and Education.

Students will engage in the critical analysis of current policies and research, develop culturally competent practices, and gain hands-on experience through applied learning opportunities. Graduates of the minor will be well-equipped to advocate for and implement impactful solutions that advance health equity within diverse communities.

The Health Equity minor is distinct from the Health and Society minor in the Department of Sociology and focuses on applying content specific to the areas of housing, food insecurity, and education. This minor may be of interest to SAS students majoring in Sociology, who are not eligible for the Health and Society minor, as well as students interested in policies to address health inequities.

Program Goals

The Health Equity minor goals include:

  • Gain a comprehensive understanding of the historical, social, and economic factors contributing to health disparities among diverse populations.
  • Develop the ability to critically analyze health data, policies, and interventions through an equity lens.
  • Equip students with the skills and knowledge to advocate for and implement solutions that promote health equity and improve community health outcomes.
  • Foster a commitment to social justice and empower students to become effective champions for health equity within their communities.

Learning Goals

By completing the minor in Health Equity, students will be able to:

Knowledge:

  • Identify and explain key health equity, community health, and health disparities concepts.
  • Analyze the impact of social determinants of health on specific populations and communities.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of different policies and interventions aimed at reducing health disparities.
