[Advising] Medical Humanities degree and Museum Studies Minor

Good afternoon everyone, UTSA's degree in Medical Humanities has now received official approval. The B.A. in Medical Humanities is housed within the Department of Philosophy and Classics in the 2015-16 catalog. The department is currently working with the registrar in order to have the MHU courses listed on the fall 2015 schedule. AHUM is continuing to work with the department on developing the degree checklists. The degree offers two concentrations: Pre-Medicine and Health Careers. The most current draft is attached; we are told it lacks only the 4-year plans. For University College Students, the code is BA-MHU-UC. For the applicable concentration, use PMED = Pre-Medicine Concentration or HTCR = Health Careers. For students who have met requirements to leave University College, the code is BA-MHU. The same concentration codes should be used (PMED or HTCR). Please feel free to direct any questions to the Arts & Humanities Advising Center. In addition, COLFA has a new Museum Studies Minor which is also approved for fall 2015. The minor is not currently housed under a specific department; however, the lead faculty is Dr. Scott Sherer from the department of ART and AHC. For Fall 2015, MSM 3003: Fundamentals of Museum Studies will be taught by Dr. Bryan Howard, Director of Research, Exhibits, and Collections, Institute of Texan Cultures. MSM 4933: Museum Internship is also open for enrollment.
