Minor

A minor in Human Biology introduces students to the interdisciplinary study of human beings from biological, behavioral, social, and cultural perspectives. Many serious problems facing humans today involve biological and social aspects. Scientific approaches to these problems are essential but must be broadly conceived and thoughtfully implemented with regard to the social and cultural contexts. Students with a minor in Human Biology are expected to develop a strong content background and the skills to integrate human beings’ biological and social aspects.

Students declaring a minor in Human Biology must submit a Minor Plan Form opens in a new tab at minimum two quarters before their intended quarter of degree conferral (for example, a student must declare a minor before the end of autumn quarter if graduating in the following spring quarter). Upon approval from student services, students can declare the HumBio minor in Axess.
