Requirements | Required Core Courses | Electives | Minor Worksheet (PDF) | Summer 2009 Courses (PDF) | Autumn 2009 Courses (PDF) | 2009-10 Schedule (PDF) The Minor in Bioethics and Humanities is particularly useful for students aspiring toward careers in the health professions and is designed to provide an appreciation of the culture of medicine and allied fields. The Department of Bioethics & Humanities is devoted to teaching and research in the history of medicine and science, and in the ethics and philosophy of medicine. It is advised that all
declared and prospective BH minors sign up for our BH listserv to
receive periodic reminders and updates on classes, events, scholarships, etc... You may sign yourself up at: Requirements: 25 credits of Bioethics & Humanities and related courses (15 of which must be B H ) with a minimum of 2.0 GPA required in each course presented for the minor. The minor worksheet will be very helpful in keeping track of your progress; it is available in the department office at A-204 Health Sciences Building or as a PDF file. Courses must be distributed as follows:
Total of 25 credits includes core courses. Any of the courses listed above in 1) and 2) may be used as electives if they are not counted toward the core requirements. *Signifies a core course. If a B H course is cross-listed with another department’s course, B H credits toward the required 15 credits will be accepted. COMPLETING THIS MINOR will probably require at least two years, as many courses are offered only once a year or in alternate years. It is preferable to allow three years, beginning with 100-300 level courses in the sophomore year. No substitutions are allowed for either core or elective courses. Due to high demand and limited spaces, minors are given priority during period one registration for some BH classes. PLAN AHEAD! YOU MUST OFFICIALLY DECLARE A MINOR any time after you have earned 90 credits, regardless of whether or not you have declared a major. You must fill out a change-of-major/minor form or your minor will not be official and will not be noted on your academic record. An adviser's signature is not required. Forms for declaring a minor are available at any advising office, Schmitz Hall, Rm. 225, or the Undergraduate Advising Center, 171 Mary Gates Hall. The Department of Bioethics & Humanities is in the School of Medicine. Courses and related information are listed under School of Medicine in the Time Schedule and the UW General Catalog. BH undergrad courses will require entry codes during registration period one. Entry codes will only be distributed to declared BH minors. Larger courses will open to all after registration period one ends on a first-come, first-served basis with no entry code required. Our smaller courses will still require entry codes, and we will begin wait lists after registration period one ends. If you have questions about the minor, please contact Sarah Edwards, Program Coordinator, at bhinfo@u.washington.edu. Choose one of the following four courses:
Electives: Additional credits from approved electives to total 25 credits for the program, including core courses (15 credits must be in B H courses). For a list of the core and elective courses click here.
