Anthropology Minor

Affiliation: School of Social & Cultural Studies

Anthropology is a comparative science that examines all societies from different angles to gain a better understanding of humanity’s past, present and future. Through both scientific and humanistic lenses students of anthropology add to their intellectual foundation and enhance their cultural awareness as they explore the societies of the world. The focus of anthropology ranges from the biological evolution of humans through the archaeological record of human societies to contemporary cultural and linguistic variation among groups of people. No matter what major a student pursues at Truman, they can increase the multicultural dimension of their degree with a minor in anthropology.

When students pursue an anthropology minor, they add to their intellectual foundation and enhance their cultural awareness as they explore the societies of the world. They learn how to ask thoughtful questions and use their critical thinking skills to discover what shapes variation among humans and cultures. .
