Minor in Medical Sociology

About the Minor

The minor in Medical Sociology is designed to give students a broader understanding of the social dimensions of contemporary medical practice. Investigating health and illness from a national and global perspective, the minor helps students understand the relations between inequalities, health care and social justice; trends in health professions; and the importance of organizations to health care. For students majoring in such fields as health sciences, nursing or biology, the minor in medical sociology complements their scientific training with a social science focus on humans, policy and power in healthcare.

Admissions Requirements

Minor is open to all undergraduate Drexel students. All prospective students should meet with an advisor from the College as soon as possible.

Students are required to declare a major before declaring a minor. Students admitted directly into a specific major at the time of matriculation may declare a minor beginning in their second semester. All requirements for the minor must be completed either concurrently with or prior to the completion of the primary major requirements. This ensures that students fulfill the expectations of their primary field of study while completing any additional areas of academic specialization.
