Anthropology, Minor

Anthropology is the study of the social, cultural, and biological diversity of humans across the globe and through time, with an emphasis on examining structures of power and inequality, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. The guiding purpose of UMF’s program in Anthropology is to facilitate learning environments that are dynamic, intellectually stimulating, and attentive to the educational and professional goals of students. To this end, the anthropology minor enables students to select courses that fit with their existing major and specific academic interests.
