Curricular Requirements for Completion of Secondary Field of Study (Minor) in Human Anatomy
The major goal of the Human Anatomy Minor is to have students obtain a broad understanding of human morphology as it relates to function, ranging from embryologic development through adulthood, and encompassing the structure of cells, tissues, and organs and their location within the human body. After completing the Human Embryology, Human Microscopic Anatomy, Human Gross Anatomy, and Functional Neuroanatomy courses, students will be able to demonstrate comprehension of: a) the stages of human development; b) the structure and cellular components of the tissues and organs and their physical and functional interrelationships; c) the regional organization of the musculoskeletal system and major organs, and d) the functional and internal/external organization of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Offered for Undergraduates in:
- Columbian College of Arts and Sciences
- School of Business
- School of Engineering and Applied Science
- Milken Institute School of Public Health
