US Health Humanities Graduate Programs

A rapidly increasing number of colleges and universities in the United States offer graduate and undergraduate programs in the Health/Medical Humanities, as well as in Bioethics. Recognizing the growth of such programs, the Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics recently added a new CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) code for “Medical/Health Humanities” (51.3204). Humanities departments and programs also exist within numerous medical schools.

This resource, created as a collaboration between the University of Texas Humanities Institute and the Health Humanities Consortium, lists basic information for U.S. programs that offer master’s degrees, doctoral degrees, or other forms of graduate-level certification in the field.
