Finding Courses

Navigating HumBio Course Options

HumBio advising has developed the following tools to aid students in their search for courses relevant to our Areas of Emphasis. These tools provide guidance on what is possible within the major but are not meant to be all-inclusive. If there is a course of interest that is not listed, contact a Human Biology Advising team member. Remember, all course changes require approval, details found on Advising & Declaring.

Freshman Friendly Courses:

HUMBIO 11 - Meet HumBio: a lecture series introducing HumBio themes - this course has been canceled for Spring 2020. To learn more about HumBio we recommend chatting with our student advisors.

Dr. Katherine Preston's lecture and discussion series designed for freshmen who want to learn more about Human Biology – either the major itself or the topics within its realm – by hearing from some of HumBio's most engaging faculty. Each week the class will feature a faculty member addressing three central questions: 1) What do I do? 2) Why is it important? and 3) What professional opportunities are possible for a person concentrating in my field?
