About

Overview Human Biology majors complete the biology portion of the major and choose one of two options for the social science portion of the major. Option 1 exposes students to Anthropology, Sociology and Psychology and asks the student to choose one of those three fields as a focus. Option 2 is focused on cross-cultural health and healing from a wide range of viewpoints. Please note that this major does not include all of the courses required by medical schools or other pre-health programs. Students interested in pre-health programs should consult their advisor and the Keck Science pre-health advisor early in their college career to formulate a coherent four-year plan that meets their needs. This is a Pitzer major; CMC and Scripps students may choose this as an off-campus major.Student Learning OutcomesThe Human Biology program of Claremont McKenna College aims to provide students with skills and knowledge to effectively engage and evaluate issues relevant to the biological and social sciences.A Human Biology Major should be able to:Understand foundational principles and findings in biology and the social sciences.Develop critical thinking and analytical skills by developing specific hypotheses, designing controlled experiments to test those hypotheses, collecting and/or evaluating data, and interpreting those data.Read, understand and critique original research articles in the biological and social sciences.A student following Option 2 of the major should also be able to:Understand variation in human social organizations and cultures.Identify and understand health and medicine in different cultural, economic and political contextsCritically identify micro- and macro-level issues affecting medical practices in local and global settings.
