This minor program is hosted by the Division of Anatomical Sciences (Department of Surgery) and the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology.
The Human Anatomy & Physiology Minor provides undergraduate students a pathway to develop a comprehensive knowledge of the human body, which is essential for careers in patient care, biomedical research, health-related education, and healthcare innovation. The minor curriculum includes a variety of lectures, labs, and (optional) independent study and allows for students to tailor their experiences based on personal future goals.
