The minor in anthropology is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the discipline and to introduce them to some of the major subfields.

Students interested in the minor should consult with a member of the anthropology faculty, then submit a completed Declaration of Minor Form. A student is assigned to the faculty advisor who best meets the student’s academic interest in the minor.
