Northwestern University Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences 4 courses
The minor in anthropology provides students in other fields with a framework to pursue a particular focus within the discipline. Such a focus might be within a subfield of anthropology (e.g., biological anthropology, archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology), in area studies (e.g., Africa, the Middle East, the United States), or in a specific topic (e.g., ethnicity, gender, the origins of the state, urban studies). The minor combines 2 200-level courses and 4 300-level courses that constitute a coherent focus. Students pursuing the minor should consult with the departmentโs undergraduate adviser to establish a program. Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a minor course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a minor course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.
