Anthropology (0.5 credit)

What can students learn from other ways of life? What can the study of how other people make sense of their world help students to understand their own? This course examines family and kinship, religion, economics, politics, survival of indigenous groups, and western influences from an anthropological perspective to gain appreciation for cultural and ethnic diversity. Students gain an understanding of the differences and similarities, both biological and cultural, in human populations and recognize the characteristics that define their own culture while gaining an appreciation for the culture of others.
