A Health Education minor is an interdisciplinary minor offered to any student at South Dakota State University; it may be of particular interest to those pursuing a teaching degree. The minor can be obtained by completing a required core and set of elective courses offered across several disciplines. This minor is strongly suggested for those individuals pursuing a major in HPER with a teaching specialization. Having a Health Education minor can lead to certification for teaching health in public schools in the region. For Minnesota certification in Health, additional coursework WILL be required. Please check with the PETE Coordinator for these details and to help in planning for this certification. All students interested in obtaining this minor must obtain written approval from the PETE Coordinator. A minimum final grade of “C” is required in each course taken in the minor.
