The Anthropology Major with Health Emphasis is designed to meet this need. The program satisfies the curricular requirements of medical and other health-related professional schools while at the same time educating students about

• The interactions between biological, environmental and social factors influencing health and illness, and
• Human adaptation and maladaptation from an evolutionary perspective

The health emphasis track has two components:

• Core courses that must be taken by all students in the health emphasis track. These will also satisfy the requirements for the bachelors degree in Anthropology.

• Allied courses required for medical school or for another professional school. If you are interested in a professional school that isn't listed, please see advisor Shawn Carlyle for approval.
