The minor in Anthropology at Chapman University focuses on cultural anthropology;
the study of shared meanings gives us tools for relating across cultures and understanding
our rich heritages and traditions. It is a perfect partner for those pursuing degrees
in Sociology, Business, Film, or Natural and Physical Sciences. We interact with people
from all over the world in our professional lives. Anthropology provides tools that
are essential for success whether you are providing services, doing business, marketing
or researching. Cultural anthropology implements Chapman University's commitment to
global citizenship.
Anthropologists at Chapman study areas as diverse as American Indian culture, popular
culture, language, media, folklore, gender, race, ethnic studies, and visual culture.
Students have opportunities to study culture in locations from Disneyland to Africa,
and from American Indian Reservations to Europe.
The common goal that links diverse and different anthropology research projects is
the advancement of the knowledge of who we are, how we came to be that way - and where
we may go in the future. (See More)
