Anthropology Minor
Anthropology bridges the humanities-science divide, examining humanity across the widest possible perspective, from our biological origins, through the prehistoric past and into the full diversity of our modern cultural and social differences. It promotes not only a better understanding of others and our cross-cultural interactions, but also of ourselves. With a minor in anthropology, you’ll examine and understand the cultural and social conditions of those who came before us as well as the similar conditions we face in our modern world.
