Anthropology (Minor)*

The mission of the Anthropology Minor program is to explore human variation and cultural diversity and to transmit the anthropological perspective as a way of thinking, a method of problem solving and a model for future learning. For many students, anthropology becomes a framework for integrating knowledge and a system of organization for their formal education. The anthropological perspective is holistic - that is, each piece or aspect of a culture is viewed within the context of the whole culture.

Unique among the social sciences and humanities, anthropology studies people and behavior in a cross-cultural perspective. This aspect of the discipline has wide ramifications for expanding the students’ world-view and approaches to other studies by increasing their awareness of ethnocentric perspectives.

*Being enrolled in at least one undergraduate major program is obligatory. Up to 2 minors could be added to a major, at no extra cost.
