MR. BREW (COORDINATOR), DR. BOWMAN
- Minor in Anthropology, B.A., B.S.
Anthropology is the study of humans within their cultural and
environmental setting. Social and cultural anthropologists study the
full range of human cultures, from small hunter-gatherer societies to
complex urban civilizations. Physical anthropologists study the
origins of humans, non-human primate behavior, and physical
variations among living peoples. Archaeologists investigate the
behavior of past human cultures.
The Anthropology program emphasizes archaeology, including methods
of site location, excavation and interpretation, and the study of
prehistory, including the prehistory of Minnesota and the culture of
Minnesota's Native American peoples.
A minor in Anthropology may be especially useful to students
majoring in Social Studies, Sociology, or other social science fields
that lead to entry level positions. Graduate training is usually
required for significant career advancement in anthropological
fields.
