Program Overview
The anthropology minor, like the major program, offers you multiple options to gain a strong grounding in a particular facet of the discipline, without fulfilling the full range of requirements of the major. The minor requires introductory courses from two subfields, to ensure some exposure to more than one subfield. Students will then take electives from their preferred subfield, or from the two subfields represented in the introductory courses they took.
An anthropology minor is complementary to many related majors in the College of Arts and Sciences, including history, economics, geography, global studies, religion, and psychology.
