The Anthropology-Geography Minor provides the broadest possible spatial and cultural knowledge of our world. The 30-unit program consists of 12 units of required core courses, in addition to others that allow the student maximum flexibil ity in tailoring training to a wide variety of specific occupational needs. Many majors may find this minor of special interest, especially those planning teaching careers in History, Political Science, and Liberal Studies, or those interested in internat ional aspects of agriculture, economics, or business.

At least 15 units must be selected from upper division courses, and at least two foundation courses must be completed before proceeding to upper division courses.
