Minor Courses

Students must complete a minimum of eighteen (18) credit hours to satisfy the requirements of the Medical Sciences minor. At least fifteen (15) credit hours must be approved College of Medicine courses. A maximum of 6 credit hours can be MEDS 3030, MEDS 3050, and/or MEDS4042L. The remaining three (3) credit hours may come from either approved MEDS courses or from approved non-MEDS courses.
