Concentration :: Biocultural Medical Anthropology
The Biocultural Medical Anthropology concentration draws individual specialized course offerings together into a coherent curriculum. Graduate students seeking this concentration at the M.A. or Ph.D. levels or in the dual degree programs will be required to take the set of required courses specific to their program. In addition, these students will take three graduate medical anthropology elective courses with the ANG prefix, one of which must be cross-listed with ANG 6511 (Seminar in Physical Anthropology). This requirement does not increase the number of credit hours required. Courses currently offered, which could be taken as biocultural medical electives include:
