Anthropology

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Anthropology explores the diversity of human cultures across space and time. All human societies have some forms of religion, family units, or ways to produce and exchange goods, to name only a few topics. Yet these shared human experiences are practiced and understood in very different ways. Anthropology explores these similarities and differences in how humans live and make sense of their lives and the world. By completing a minor in anthropology, students will develop qualitative data collection and writing skills and examine social and cultural processes and issues in a wide range of cultures and societies.

Minors

A minor is defined as a course of study of at least 18 semester hours outside the student’s major. Academic minors may be earned in disciplines as specified by the department faculty. Requirements are a grade point average of 2.0 or higher for 18 or more semester hours.

Courses for the minor may also meet general education or major requirements, and at least 9 of the required hours must be earned in Columbia College coursework. (Transfer courses equivalent to courses designated are accepted toward the minor.)

Majors and minors may not be added to an already earned degree.

In some curricular areas, the College offers courses totaling fewer than 18 semester hours. In these areas, students may earn additional semester hours through transfer credit so the total semester hours earned meets the required number of hours (see Evaluation of Credit and Testing ). Main Campus Day students can participate in cooperative cross-enrollment with the University of Missouri - Columbia and/or Stephens College (see Advising and Registration ).
