Minors offer non-majors the opportunity to satisfy intellectual interests, to strengthen their degrees, or to enhance their preparation for post-baccalaureate education, careers, and employment. The minor in Anthropology combines well with many different majors and is designed for students who wish to add a cross-cultural dimension to their education. This minor is especially appropriate for those who are planning professional careers in areas such as international studies and foreign service; international business; medicine, dentistry and other health fields; and education.
