Anthropology is the comparative, cross-cultural, and holistic study of humankind. The discipline concerns itself with reminding us that our way is not the only way in which societies can be organized and beliefs and behaviors occur. Through courses emphasizing social, cultural, historical, linguistic, and biological perspectives, the Anthropology minor at Alfred seeks to enrich our awareness of the breadth of the human condition. The minor provides a solid supplement in the liberal arts tradition to any major at the university.

Minor Requirements:

A minor in Anthropology requires 16 total credit hours. Two courses are required for the minor:
ANTH 200 Cultural Anthropology
