UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS :: Minor in Anthropology
Completing a minor in anthropology will give you an excellent introduction to the field. You will be exposed to the basic concepts of the field -- for example, evolution, adaptation, cultural diversity -- and will have an opportunity to take advanced courses with some of our internationally-known faculty.
The logic of the minor is straightforward: all students must complete a core of introductory and core theory courses, followed by a small number of upper division electives.
Minor requirements haven't changed much over the years. Mainly we require a few more units than we did a decade or so. See "Minor Requirements -- 1994-1997" if you declared your minor during those years.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MINOR (Effective Fall Semester, 1997)
