|
 Return to: Minors
This minor provides students with a practical toolkit for problem solving using an anthropological way of seeing and doing. Anthropology engages human diversity through research and application. With this minor, students will expand their cross-cultural awareness and learn to put anthropological methods to work. Through better understanding both past and present, students will learn how to engage with communities, environments, resources, and organizations, and gain experience in how to foster systemic change. Given anthropology’s interdisciplinary approach, this minor is an excellent complement to a wide range of student majors and interests, including engineering, business, environmental science, mass communications, cultural resource management and museum studies, public health and health sciences, architecture, system design, and computer science.
