The undergraduate minor in anthropology requires a minimum of 15 s.h. in anthropology courses, including 12 s.h. in University of Iowa Department of Anthropology courses numbered 2000 or above. Students must maintain a grade-point average of at least 2.00 in all courses for the minor and in all UI courses for the minor. Courses for the minor may not be taken pass/nonpass.

Students may create a focus for the minor by completing a specialization area; see "Optional Undergraduate Tracks" under the BA or BS anthropology requirements.
