The Biological Anthropology minor is an interdisciplinary program that provides students with a basic understanding of how evolutionary principles can be applied to address the question of what it means to be human.Students can take courses that examine the theories, principles, practices, and applied aspects within biological anthropology, including primatology, paleoanthropology (human evolution), anthrozoology (the relationship between humans and other animals), genetics, and conservation. The minor complements many major programs, particularly those in the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and health fields.
Students in the minor are required to take an introductory course that reviews the basic tenets of biological anthropology and are then free to choose from ANTH-designated electives. Courses with an AN2 attribute will enable students to expand their anthropological perspective outside of the discipline.
