Anthropological Sciences Minor (R, A)


REAL Curriculum


This minor fulfills the R and A areas of the REAL Curriculum. We develop the R area through coursework where students develop, test hypotheses and draw conclusions about anthropologically relevant questions. Within this process they examine the appropriateness of their scientific conclusions and the use of quantitative data in the analysis of anthropological questions. We develop the A area through an examination and exploration of the role of different world cultures today and through time. A significant focus of the major is understanding the context, consequences and interactions among cultures and behaviors.  Students need majors and/or minors to fulfill the E and L areas to complete the REAL Curriculum requirements.
