Minor in Disability, Health, and Physical Activity (DHPA)
The Disability, Health, and Physical Activity minor is an 18-credit program available to any major at Samford. It equips students to be agents of change in promoting equity and access within physical activity, health and recreation settings.
Through partnerships with local schools, community organizations and service providers, students engage in meaningful, hands-on work that challenges exclusion and reduces barriers to activity for individuals with disabilities. Student involvement directly supports the development of inclusive, active environments where all people—regardless of ability—can participate fully and with dignity.
Completion of this minor leads to eligibility to sit for the ACSM Inclusive Fitness Instructor certificate.
