Overview

The Minor in Anthropology, offered by the Department of Anthropology, is designed for undergraduate students who want to learn about general anthropology, but cannot commit to a full academic major. Students in the Anthropology minor gain a well-rounded education and form writing and research skills, as well as a capacity to speak about human communities and social change in complex and informed ways, that help them stand out in the job market.

Residency Requirement: Students who declare a College of Liberal Arts' minor must complete at least half of the program at Temple University. This minor requires 18 credits or 6 courses; at least 3 courses must be taken at Temple University.

Minimum Grade and GPA Requirements: A minimum grade of C- must be earned in all courses in the minor as well as a minimum GPA of 2.0 in the discipline to earn this credential.

Restrictions: Students may not combine this program with the following CLA programs:

  • BA in Anthropology
  • BA in Liberal Studies

Minors are awarded only at the time of completion of the bachelor's degree and cannot be awarded either as a stand-alone program of study or after completion of the first bachelor's degree.
