Overview
The Minor in Visual Anthropology, offered by the Department of Anthropology, can deepen a student's understanding of how anthropologists use and study audiovisual media with courses examining film, television, photography and other forms of audiovisual expression. Students learn how to analyze media, especially within and across various cultural contexts, and grapple with the problem of how mass media reflects and influences people's social worlds and everyday lives.
The Visual Anthropology minor is not open to Anthropology majors.
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.
