Major Requirements
Students majoring in anthropology study the discipline's history and methodology by taking two types of courses: those that focus on a particular cultural area (such as Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, native North America, or South Asia) and courses that focus on a specific theoretical concern. They also conduct individual ethnographic or archeological fieldwork and are encouraged to complement their work in anthropology with participation in a study-abroad program. The chair serves as the study-abroad advisor for anthropology students. Some departmental funding is available for student research projects, most notably annual awards from the Hamill Fund for Fieldwork in Anthropology.
Students majoring in anthropology must complete successfully Anthropology 101, 103 or 104, 333, 339, 441, 458, Anthropology s10 or s32, which should be taken during the student's sophomore year; and at least four other courses in anthropology, not including 360.
Minor
A minor in anthropology enables students to develop a basic foundation in the discipline while complementing the perspectives offered in their major area of study. The department has established the following requirements for a minor in anthropology:
1) Anthropology 101.
2) Either Anthropology 103 or 104.
3) One of Anthropology 222, 247, 333, or 339.
4) Either Anthropology s10 or s32.
5) Any two other anthropology courses (including courses cross-listed in anthropology).
Pass/Fail Grading Option
Pass/fail grading may not be elected for courses applied toward the major or the minor.
