To satisfy the requirements for the interdisciplinary minor in Medicine, Health and Culture, students must successfully complete 20 or more credits from at least four different discipline prefixes (ECN, ENG, HSC, HST, IDS PHL, etc…).
Students must also submit a portfolio in their final term at Furman to be considered by at least two members of the minor oversight committee demonstrating the connection between the courses contributing to their minor requirements. An exit interview with a member of the minor oversight committee is also required to successfully complete the minor.
All courses contributing to minor requirements will dedicate at least 50% of their content to questions directly associated with medicine, health and/or culture. Furthermore, first year seminars will not be considered for inclusion in the minor, while relevant credit-bearing internships or other courses completed in related areas may be considered on an individual basis.
