Minor in Anthropology

The Minor in Anthropology at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa provides an option to gain a firm grounding in the discipline without fulfilling the full range of requirements of the major. Students majoring in many fields may find that a minor in anthropology will both complement and enhance their understanding of their major. Students can take any of our upper-division courses to fulfill the minor requirements, offering great flexibility to choose courses that fit their academic interests.

Minor Requirements

Students pursuing a minor in anthropology must complete 15 credits of upper-division (300+) anthropology courses.
