Program Minors
Students are urged to confer with a department adviser to plan a minor. To
declare a minor, students must file a completed declaration form with a
current copy of their transcript.
Minor in Sociology
Undergraduate students can minor in sociology. 18 credit hours of sociology courses are required for a minor, including the introductory course,
SOC 101. At least 9 of the 18 credit hours must be in courses at the 300- or 400-level. Where courses are cross-listed in the major and minor, only 3 credit hours can be applied to both.
Minor in Anthropology
Anthropology is a holistic and cross-culturally comparative science that is
uniquely qualified to prepare students for multicultural work and social
environments in the U.S. and abroad. Careers for anthropologists, however, lie in all areas of human interaction. Anthropologists are especially attractive to companies and government agencies that work with and for national minorities and in foreign countries.
Students will be introduced to the subject and methods of cultural anthropology, examining its foundations and current trends in theory and applications. Students earning a minor in anthropology take 3 credit hours of required coursework (ANTHRO 103, Introduction to Cultural Anthropology) and 15 credit hours of elective courses, which result in a total of 18 hours. Electives can be planned around an area of specialization. At least 9 of the 18 credit hours must be in courses at the 300- or 400-level. Where courses are cross-listed in the major and minor, only 3 credit hours can be applied to both. Students should consult with the program coordinator to select the appropriate courses.
