Medical Humanities and Health Studies

The Medical Humanities and Health Studies minor promotes the study of medicine, health, and illness from a range of humanities and social science perspectives. All the liberal arts disciplines contribute to our understanding of the human experience of illness, suffering, mortality, and the role of the healer. The Medical Humanities and Health Studies minor allows students in pre-health programs, liberal arts, business, and STEM fields to complement their majors with an interdisciplinary and humanistic approach to this complex and rewarding area of study.
