Info for the Minor

Students applying for a minor in Anthropology must have a GPA of 2.0 (or better) and must have completed at least one of the required introductory courses: APY 106, APY 107, or APY 108. A grade of C- (or better) is required for all courses taken for minor credit.

In accord with UB policy, Majors in Anthropology may not also declare a Minor in Anthropology. Minors should follow the same registration procedures as described on p. 2 for the Major. Register early, so that you are included in the Department e-mail list and you receive all announcements of Departmental events. Minors are encouraged to participate in activities of the Anthropology Club.
