UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
ANTHROPOLOGY MAJOR. Students wishing to major in anthropology may choose between two tracks: general and pre-professional. The pre-professional major requires 39 credits, and is designed for students who wish to pursue graduate studies in anthropology or a related discipline. It requires a more rigorous course schedule with more 300 level courses (including a seminar) than are required for the general major, and a class in anthropological statistics. Under both major tracks, students may also elect to do a senior's honor thesis.
ANTHROPOLOGY MINOR. The Minor offers students an introduction to the field of anthropology and is flexible enough to provide basic information in all four fields (Cultural, Biological, Archaeology and Linguistics) while at the same time allowing students to focus specifically on the areas that most interest them.

GENERAL MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
The Department of Anthropology gives students knowledge of human origins and development, the varieties of human cultures, and the cultural, biological and social complexities of our species. The major provides the necessary preparation for graduate work in the field, as well as valuable background for careers in education, international studies, medicine and allied professions, sociology, and social work. Students may specialize in Cultural Anthropology, Biological Anthropology, Archaeology, or Linguistic Anthropology or they may follow a more general track. Students must declare their intention to major in anthropology by meeting with a faculty advisor and by completing a concentration form in consultation with their advisor. The courses (and planned dates they will be taken) that will comprise the major should be entered below. This form should be prepared and signed by the advisor in duplicate, one copy being retained by the student, the other being filed with the department. Unauthorized changes in the courses comprising the major may result in a withholding of the degree. Grades below C- in anthropology courses are not acceptable for majors in Anthropology. Students who have received such grades in any course needed to fulfill the Major requirements must retake these courses and achieve a grade of C- or better to be considered for graduation as Anthropology Majors. No more than 3 credits from the courses ANTH 390 – 397 may be used as part of the Major without the approval of the Anthropology Advising Committee.

GENERAL MINOR REQUIREMENTS
A Minor in Anthropology comprises six courses and a total of 18 credits and can be usefully and easily combined with Majors in other departments. The Minor offers students an introduction to the field of anthropology and is flexible enough to provide basic information in all four fields (Cultural, Biological, Archaeology and Linguistics) while at the same time allowing students to focus specifically on the areas that most interest them. Students must declare their intention to minor in anthropology by meeting with a faculty advisor and completing a concentration form in consultation with their advisor. The student should enter below the courses (and planned dates they will be taken) which will comprise the minor. This form should be prepared and signed by the advisor in duplicate - one copy being retained by the student, the other being filed with the department. Changes in the courses selected may be made at any time as long as the basic requirements are completed. Unauthorized changes in the courses comprising the minor, however, may result in a departmental decision not to award the Minor. Grades below C- in anthropology courses are not acceptable for minors in Anthropology. Students who have received such grades in any course needed to fulfill the minor requirements, must retake those courses and achieve a grade of C- or better to be considered for graduation as Anthropology Minors.
