The labor market reflects the diversity of anthropology as a field. As such, a Minor in Anthropology demonstrates to potential employers and graduate and professional schools a breadth of understanding and an expanded worldview on the part of a recent graduate that is often not demonstrated otherwise. Further, a Minor in Anthropology demonstrates cultural sensitivity that many employers find invaluable in today’s global economy.
