The Anthropology minor can be completed online, on-ground, or in a blended format (both online and on-ground). It is an excellent option for students in any major who want to explore cultural diversity and develop skills in communication across cultures. Whatever your intended career, an anthropology minor can help you learn to understand issues in cultural context, from law, business, or health fields to teaching, history, social work, and more.

Anthropology's breadth complements any major

Anthropologists are interested in everything people do, make, and think about. Our courses offer options for learning about U.S. and global cultures, human biology and evolution, and how societies have shaped their environments throughout history.
