Anthropology Minor
|
|
Anthropology is the holistic, comparative and interdisciplinary study of human beings in cultural context. Anthropologists study human beings and the symbols and rituals they use to create meaningful lives, and how they affect their worldviews. The anthropology minor embraces the study of people’s past and present in natural and social environments. Anthropology is an interdisciplinary social science that draws its methodology and theoretical understandings from the humanities as well as the social and natural sciences. The Anthropology minor uses the broad and current definition of the discipline, which uses a five field program of study that recognized global development and post-colonial economic and political forces at work in the world today. The five fields that students will be introduced to in their introductory coursework and can develop beyond the requirements include 1) cultural anthropology, 2) archeology, 3) biological anthropology, 4) linguistics, and 5) applied anthropology. Our minor emphasizes the practical application of anthropological theory and method of community support, advocacy, problem-solving and critical thinking perspective on global development.
