Global Migration and Refugee Studies - Minor

This interdisciplinary minor is offered through the Departments of Anthropology and Sociology in the School of Arts and Sciences.

After completing the methodology and elective courses, Global Migration and Refugee Studies minors engage in independent research (ANTH 493, SOC 493) or appropriate internship (ANTH 495, SOC 495) that will result in a research paper or report. To complete the research paper project, students will work closely with a faculty mentor and a second reader. Students pursuing the internship option work with a faculty and an on-site supervisor who together oversee the study.

For Anthropology and Sociology majors, these projects would normally satisfy those Departments' requirements for Senior Capstones conducted through Senior Seminars, independent research, or supervised (for-credit) internships. Majors in other disciplines should consult their major-department advisors on these arrangements.
