Overview

The Minor in Biomedical Anthropology is offered by the Department of Anthropology.

Students considering medical school or study in other health professions might find the minor in Biomedical Anthropology of particular interest given the recent shifts in the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) to evaluate the social and cultural competence of applicants. All students receive a foundation in Biological Anthropology and select electives according to their interests and professional goals.

The Biomedical Anthropology minor is not open to Anthropology majors.

Minors are awarded only at the time of completion of the bachelor's degree and cannot be awarded either as a stand-alone program of study or after completion of the first bachelor's degree.
