Anthropology Minor

 Return to: Academic Degree Programs Offered

The College of Arts and Sciences offers an undergraduate Minor in Anthropology for students majoring in other fields across the University. This minor is particularly appropriate for those students who find it helpful to their current major to apply the study of cultures, race and ethnicity, social class, gender and sexuality, and other social inequalities through the significant use of holistic and cross-cultural perspectives and analytic approaches that Anthropology embodies.
