18 credit hours required.

Medical anthropology incorporates biological and cultural anthropological   approaches to health and disease. The Medical Anthropology   minor provides a holistic, integrated, and cross-cultural overview of this subfield. In particular, we study the cross-cultural and evolutionary   aspects of incidence and patterns of disease, healing systems, growth and development, and women’s health.

All courses are 3 credits unless noted. Credits are divided as follows:
