Medical Humanities has grown as a new field of study over the last decade as those in medical fields recognize the need for doctors, nurses, medical technicians, and others in health-related fields to possess a more sympathetic view of health, illness, suffering, and death to more effectively and empathetically treat patients and clients. Medical Humanities programs are housed in colleges of medicine and colleges of liberal arts alike, offering majors, minors, and certificates to meet this need. As both a liberal arts and a Catholic institution, we are well-placed to offer this degree that emphasizes and respects the importance of the human person in matters of health. To support the interdisciplinary of the degree, the major is housed in the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies.
In addition to University Explorations courses, all students majoring in the Medical Humanities will take a 21-semester hour core. This concentration allows students to focus their studies more deeply in the humanities with the Health Humanities track consisting of 18-semester hour credits. This option provides flexibility to students to craft a curriculum that fits their interests while still providing essential instruction in the Medical Humanities. Additionally, students must take enough general elective credit hours to fulfill total hours required for degree completion in addition to the completion of University Exploration courses. Prerequisite courses will also be taken as needed.
