Anthropology Minor Overview

Minoring in anthropology at 91社区 will offer you the opportunity to gain insight into human diversity and variation from the perspectives of culture, biology, archaeology and language. The minor challenges you to think critically about how we as humans adapt to our environment and the ways in which questions about humanity are central to our understanding of the diverse world in which we live. You will take courses taught by highly qualified PhD faculty who are recognized nationally and internationally for their expertise. Anthropology complements other scientific and liberal arts courses by helping you understand how people and their cultures are interconnected. You will find an abundance of hands-on experience including internships, study abroad opportunities and field programs.

An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a minor.

The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.

A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
