Medical Humanities at General Studies: what LionPlan checks

LionPlan is an unofficial student project. It is a companion to Stellic and Vergil, not a replacement, and it does not replace CSA advising. This page is live for General Studies.

Tell us your school, your major, and what you have taken. A course card then shows what a class satisfies (“Satisfies Probability / Statistics”) and what it unlocks (“Opens up 7 more courses”), plus the section time and instructor rating.

The groups below are the ones LionPlan actually checks for this program. They were transcribed from the 2026-2027 Bulletin. Confirm them with your school before you register.

  1. Introduction to Comparative Literature and Society

    All of these

    All of these: CPLS UN3900.

    The required three-point introduction: CPLS UN3900.

  2. Comparative Literature and Society course

    Attested

    You confirm this yourself. I completed one director-approved CPLS or CL-identified course for the major.

    One three- or four-point CPLS course or course carrying the CL identifier. Cross-listing and director approval cannot be inferred reliably from the catalog subject code alone.

  3. Advanced foreign-language prerequisite

    Attested

    You confirm this yourself. I met the program's advanced foreign-language prerequisite before applying to the major.

    Before applying, students must have completed advanced foreign-language study. Placement, transfer work, and language level require program review.

  4. Course with non-English readings

    Attested

    You confirm this yourself. I completed one approved course with readings in a language other than English.

    One three- or four-point course with substantial readings in a language other than English, approved as part of the major plan.

  5. Disciplinary or methodological nexus

    Attested

    You confirm this yourself. The DUS approved my three-course disciplinary or methodological nexus for Medical Humanities.

    Three courses, totaling 9-12 points, forming an individualized nexus around health, society, and the humanities. The DUS approves the set as a whole, so a subject or keyword filter would be misleading.

  6. Medical Humanities core

    Attested

    You confirm this yourself. The program director confirmed my two Medical Humanities core courses.

    Two courses, totaling six points, taught by faculty on the Medical Humanities advisory board and emphasizing Medical Humanities. Students must confirm the choices with the program director.

  7. Human biology or biochemistry

    Attested

    You confirm this yourself. The program director confirmed my two human-biology or biochemistry courses.

    Two biology or biochemistry courses, totaling 6-8 points, related to fundamental human biology. Not every BIOL or CHEM course qualifies, so this remains director-confirmed.

  8. Senior Seminar at ICLS

    All of these

    All of these: CPLS UN3991.

    The required three-point senior seminar: CPLS UN3991.

  9. Program application and course-plan approval

    Attested

    You confirm this yourself. I was admitted to Medical Humanities and the DUS approved my specific course of study.

    Students apply at the beginning of the spring term of sophomore year with a transcript and one-page statement. The DUS must approve the specific course of study; courses are normally 3000-level or above.
