Anthropology Minor
Our minor program provides students in other fields with a framework to pursue a particular focus within the discipline. Such a focus might be within:
- A subfield of anthropology, i.e., biological anthropology, archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology
- Area studies, e.g., Africa, the Middle East, the United States
- A specific topic, e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, the origins of the state, urban studies
MINOR REQUIREMENTS
Students must complete a 6-course program comprised of:
- 2 core 200-level courses (211, 213, 214, and 215) which provide background in two of the four major subfields of anthropology (archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology)
- 4 300-level courses that constitute a coherent focus (in consultation with the DUS)
