Minor in Anthropology Requirements
Minor in Anthropology Requirements
Completing a minor in anthropology will give you an excellent introduction to the field. You will be exposed to the basic concepts of the field—for example, evolution, adaptation and cultural diversity—and will have an opportunity to take advanced courses with some of our internationally known faculty.
The logic of the minor is straightforward: all students must complete a core of introductory and core theory courses, followed by a small number of upper division electives.
