Minors Declaration Form

The Human Biology minor requires three core courses to ensure coverage of the field disciplines, while offering flexibility for students pursuing specific subplans in the fields of Global Health, Epidemiology, or Health Policy.

In order to graduate with a minor in Human Biology, undergraduates must complete the minor program of study as described in the Stanford Bulletin, for a total of at least 25 units, with a minimum of six courses. A summary of the requirements is below:

1. Three HumBio Core courses (at least one A-side and at least one B-side class) for a total of at least 15 units.

Students completing a major that requires some of the HumBio Core or equivalent may submit a petition to substitute the Core requirement; contact HumBio Student Services for more information.

2. Three (3) elective courses, each 3 or more units, totaling 10 or more units, within the chosen subplan. A comprehensive list of suitable elective courses can be found on the Stanford Bulletin. Be sure to expand the fields to see the full elective course lists in the Bulletin.

3. Course work completed for the Human Biology Minor must meet the following criteria:

All courses must be taken for a letter grade.
All courses must be completed with a minimum 'C-' grade.
Courses used to fulfill the minor may not be used to fulfill any other department degree requirements (major or minor).
All courses must be taken at Stanford University.
