The Biological Anthropology minor develops an understanding of anthropological approaches to the study of the human body from modern and/or archaeological contexts. This minor is particularly appropriate for students interested in human biology, forensic anthropology, bioarchaeology, mortuary archaeology, or area studies in archaeology.

Minor Requirements

Students must earn a grade of "C" (2.0) or better in all courses used to satisfy the minor. Students may make a request to the Undergraduate Coordinator to be granted the use of one C- toward the major requirements.
At least 15 hours used in the minor must be earned at UCF.
Only two anthropology courses can overlap for students enrolled in multiple anthropology programs (minors or certificates). (Note: The myKnight Audit cannot capture overlapping courses between two or more programs; therefore, students should have their program reviewed by the department before filing for graduation.)
Students may substitute one anthropology upper level course that is either an archaeological area study or a health related course with prior permission.
Internship, Co-op, or Independent Study credit cannot be used toward the minor without prior approval.
Students should consult with a department advisor.

Prerequisite Courses

Most courses for this minor will have prerequisites completed as a part of a student's GEP requirement, as general electives, or a student can enroll into courses with consent of instructor.
