- The Global Film Minor in the Department of English offers UB undergraduates the opportunity to discover vibrant cinematic traditions and innovations from around the globe. There is no requirement that Global Film minors be English majors; our minors come from all departments across UB.

CHI191 “Beginning Chinese for Professionals” has been scheduled for the fall. There are two sections open.
http://www.buffalo.edu/class-schedule?switch=showcourses&semester=fall&division=UGRD&dept=CHI
“This is the first semester of the three-semester sequence of introductory Mandarin Chinese course (three credits each semester) and it aims to lay a solid foundation in Chinese for students in professional programs such as business and health. The course also covers basic concepts of Chinese culture related to these fields. Upon course completion, students will have acquired elementary language skills in the language, including basic knowledge of the phonetic Pinyin system and Chinese characters, basic terminology specific to the professional fields, and key concepts of Chinese culture.” This is the first class of the three semester sequence (3 credits each semester), which is equivalent with the traditional CHI101-102 sequence.
There are also two courses newly scheduled for the fall – CHI280 “Survey of Chinese Culture”, and CHI430 Special Topics (exact topic to be determined as soon as we have the faculty to teach the class, and we will update about this later). These courses are open to any student.
A Public Health BS degree is now available within the UB School of Public Health & Health Professions. You can find more information about the program here: http://sphhp.buffalo.edu/home/education/undergraduate-and-minors/public-health.html

The discipline is a combination of both the science and art of advancing the health of individuals, families, communities, and populations through education, promotion of healthy behaviors, and research for disease and injury prevention. The major will prepare students for both entry-level positions in public health and related careers and for advanced study in public health and health professions.
Major requirements can be found here and include both coursework in public health and foundation courses in both the sciences and the social sciences: http://sphhp.buffalo.edu/home/education/undergraduate-and-minors/public-health/requirements-and-curriculum.html Students who wish to update their major to public health may do so via the following webform: https://ubsphhp.formstack.com/forms/ug_plan_change
