BA.HMS - Health, Medicine, and Society, B.A.

Students declaring an HMS major will develop a course of study comprised of a minimum of 11 courses (a minimum of 38 credits). This will include an emphasis comprised of five courses (a minimum of 19 credits) addressing one of the four core areas defined by the program, and at least two courses in one elective area (a minimum of 7 units). To ensure depth of study, a maximum of 3 100-level courses can count towards a student’s concentration and electives.

Given that the ability to communicate with diverse communities is essential to health care, all HMS majors are strongly encouraged to develop competency in a second language.
