The MINOS Near and Far Detectors are two large, functionally-identical, steel-scintillating sampling calorimeters located at depths of 220 mwe and 2100 mwe respectively. The detectors observe the muon component of hadronic showers produced from cosmic ray interactions with nuclei in the earth's atmosphere. From the arrival direction of these muons, the anisotropy in arrival direction of the cosmic ray primaries can be determined. The MINOS Near and Far Detector have observed anisotropy on the order of 0.1% at 1 and 11 TeV respectively. The amplitude and phase of the first harmonic at 1 TeV are 8.2$\pm$1.7(stat.)$\times 10^{-4}$ and (8.9$\pm$12.1(stat.))$^{\circ}$, and at 11 TeV are 3.8$\pm$0.5(stat.)$\times 10^{-4}$ and (27.2$\pm$7.2(stat.))$^{\circ}$.
