Health Care Studies Minor

The USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and the Keck School of Medicine offer an interdisciplinary minor in health care studies. This minor is targeted to those undergraduates who wish to pursue a postgraduate career in health care or health care related fields. The minor brings together a background in fundamental science necessary to understand the biological basis of medicine with course work that explores health care both in classroom and clinical settings. The minor requires a minimum of 28 units, at least 16 of which must be at the upper-division level. If the core required courses listed below are already included in a student’s major, then other lower division courses may be selected from the electives list.

Students should consult their advisers in selecting courses. Depending on the major, prerequisites may increase total units required to complete this minor.
