Why should you minor in Anthropology? Anthropology is one of the few branches of learning that approaches human questions from historical, biological, linguistic and cultural perspectives. The study of Anthropology prepares students for excellent jobs and opens doors to numerous career paths, and a minor in Anthropology allows a student to study aspects of the field that especially interests them. The course of study provides global information and thinking skills crucial to succeeding in the 21st-century economy whether in business, research, teaching, advocacy, or public service. A minor in Anthropology is an ideal complement to virtually any major at UNLV.
