The Minor in Anthropology

Anthropology is the study of all forms of human diversity across time and space. The Minor in Anthropology at Carnegie Mellon exposes students to the methods and theories that anthropologists use to study cultural variation and change. Courses in the minor explore the history and practice of ethnography, apply anthropological approaches to global problems, and examine how cultural differences interact with a range of other social, political, and environmental forces. Students also gain a deeper understanding of how cultural differences shape (and are shaped by) the arts, technology, economics, politics, and ecology. The Minor in Anthropology, which may be combined with any major, equips students with a sophisticated understanding of human diversity in a rapidly changing world.
