Medical Humanities, B.A.
|
|
Return to: Programs of Study
The Medical Humanities major is designed to provide students with an understanding of the complexity of health and healing, the impact of scientific medicine on society at large, the tools to evaluate and analyze metrics of wellness, and the ability to utilize disparate techniques of critical thinking and textual interpretation. Students receive an intentionally interdisciplinary education which fulfills the requirements for prior course work at most medical schools while at the same time emphasizing the traditional liberal arts. The major is ideal for those wishing to do work in the medical fields while allowing for a broad education across the non-science oriented areas of study.
