Anthropology Minor
Courses for the Anthropology minor are offered both on-ground and online. Anthropology provides training in strategies to learn about cultures, diversity among and within cultures, understanding issues in cultural context, and appropriate problem-solving, cooperation, and communication across cultures.
The minor consists of one core course and at least three electives, for a total of at least 15 credit hours. The core course may be taken at either the lower- or upper-division level, SOA 103 Introduction to Anthropology or SOA 302 Understanding Cultures (only one may count toward the minor). At least one of the electives must be a 300- or 400-level course. At least 8 hours must be taken at UIS; a maximum of two courses may be transferred for credit toward the minor.
