The Anthropology Minor
Students from many other majors often wish to minor in anthropology. Courses taken in other disciplines may not count toward a minor. A maximum of one anthropology course taken at another institution may count toward the minor, including study-abroad programs, if approved by a minor advisor.
The general requirements for an Anthropology Minor include:
- Six three-credit courses, including:
- One course in each of the three areas of anthropology: Socio-Cultural, Archaeological, and Linguistic Anthropology, and
- At least one course in Anthropology (at any level) that fulfills the major's Beyond-the-West perspectives requirement.

In addition to our general minor, the Department of Anthropology also offers a special Minor in Global Culture and Commerce (GCC) that focuses on the intersection of two sets of issues:
-
Cultural translation and cross-cultural knowledge, and
-
Local and global economic and cultural development.
This minor speaks to a longstanding interest of College students for a liberal arts perspective on the world of global development and international business.
