About the Anthropology Program
The minor in Anthropology adds cultural breadth to almost any major field and can also effectively prepare a student for graduate work in anthropology. Anthropology supports general education both through the Core Curriculum (ANTH 2346 and ANTH 2351) and through course content throughout the anthropology curriculum, which focuses strongly on the relevance of anthropology to modern life in a multicultural, global community.
A minor in anthropology is a useful complement to majors in:
- Sociology
- Social Work
- Criminal Justice
- History
- Psychology and other fields
Anthropology 2346 or 2351 satisfies the social science requirement of the University Core Curriculum. Interested students are invited to consult with the faculty advisor in anthropology.
Faculty in anthropology maintain an active program of original research, which is of direct benefit to curriculum and instruction.
