Why study Integrative Health and Wellness?
The Undergraduate Integrative Health and Wellness Minor developed by the UC Center for Integrative Health and Wellness (CIHW) will enable students to become more active in their own healthcare and that of their community to focus more on overall wellness and less so on disease or sick care. We aim to provide students with a broad-based exposure to healthy behaviors and evidence-based complementary approaches. This minor will help interdisciplinary students across a wide spectrum of fields to become collaborative and transformative practitioners, educators and/or patients that focus on the use of integrative and complementary health approaches to achieve optimal health.
Admission Requirements
The minor is open to undergraduate students from any major at UC. Instructions for declaring the minor are available. You should also speak with your academic advisor prior to declaring the minor.
The Integrative Health minor consists of 18 hours and will prove to be attractive to many different majors as it provides them with a basic understanding of the different aspects and modalities in this field of study and how this can relate and benefit your everyday life.
Students who choose to complete an integrative health minor increase their awareness of emerging issues in integrative and complementary health. They will become aware of how integrative health care brings conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way focusing on a patient-focused approach to health care and wellness which often including mental, emotional, functional, spiritual, social, and community aspects. In other words, treating the whole person rather than, for example, one organ system.
