ATTENTION MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY MINORS! ARE YOU INTERESTED IN STUDY ABROAD? WANT YOUR COURSES ABROAD TO COUNT TOWARDS YOUR MED ANTH MINOR? PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE FOLLOWING:

Check before you go… Study abroad is a fantastic learning opportunity and we encourage medical anthropology students to travel and learn globally! We will need a syllabus to evaluate whether the course can be counted toward your degree at UNC. Medical Anthropology is not the same as Public Health… The Medical Anthropology Minor focuses on teaching students about the theories and methods of the specific field of medical anthropology. This approach differs from courses in kindred fields such as Global Health, Public Health, Health Policy, Comparative Health Systems, etc., and we cannot grant credit for courses that address issues of health, but do not do so from an anthropological perspective. Course titles are often unclear, unspecific, and confusing about a course’s disciplinary approach! You often can’t tell what the course content will be from a title alone. Sometimes a course may be called “Global Health” and it DOES present medical anthropological approaches, but sometimes it does not. This is why a syllabus is necessary for the course to be evaluated.

What criteria does UNC’s Medical Anthropology Department use to assess a course? When assessing a course from another university for credit towards the Medical Anthropology Minor, we look for the following elements: -inclusion of anthropological methods, including participant-observation, ethnographic inquiry, and comparative human biology; -attention to cultural, historical, socioecological, and political-economic forces as necessary for understanding health issues; -readings that are published in anthropological journals and contribute to debates regarding anthropological theory, methods, and interpretation; – student research that includes anthropological theory and methods and refers to published anthropological literature.

Departmental Reviewer: Christopher Brachmann, cbrachma@email.unc.edu

Notes:

Generally, the Program in Art History requires a minimum of 3000 words of writing to receive major or minor credit in Art History. Students should contact the Study Abroad Liaison for the Art History Program for course inquiries. Please note: Courses that have an equivalent in the UNC–Chapel Hill curriculum usually are approved. Courses that fall outside the UNC–Chapel Hill curriculum must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. No guarantee exists that a course will transfer for credit unless pre-approved.
