Minor in Anthropology

Anthropology is the study of human diversity. It explores the meaning of being human – from the study of culture and social relations, to human biology and physical evolution, to language, to music and art and to vestiges of human habitation. Anthropology addresses fascinating questions such as how peoples’ behavior changes over time, how and why people from distant parts of the world and dissimilar cultures are in many ways similar, how the human species has evolved over millions of years, and how individuals understand and operate successfully in distinct cultural settings. Anthropology includes four sub-fields: cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics.
