The Anthropology minors in Biological Anthropology and Cultural Anthropology attract students who want to explore cultural diversity across the globe and through time. These minors are designed to complement student course work in related disciplines or in interdisciplinary programs. Anthropology courses emphasize the application of the anthropological perspective in understanding present-day social issues.
The minor in Biological Anthropology anchors humans in the natural world by emphasizing our evolutionary and genetic past as well as our relationships with other primates. Courses on human health, animal behavior, and comparative anatomy, as well as ecological and environmental perspectives, are among the varied dimensions of this broad minor.
All courses used to complete a minor must have grades of "C" or better and at least half of the requirements should be completed at Alfred University.
