Electives


Complete 9 additional credit hours from ANTH coursework.  No more than one 100-level ANTH course may apply toward this requirement.

Notes:


  • The number of Anthropology elective credit hours you must take may be fewer if you complete ANTH 493 Field School in Archaeology (3-8)  (8 credit hours) OR ANTH 494 Field Work (2-8)  to satisfy the capstone experience requirement for Anthropology. For example, if you complete the 8 credit hour ANTH 493 Field School in Archaeology , 3 credit hours will satisfy the capstone experience requirement and the remaining 5 credit hours will count toward your electives in the Anthropology major.
  • Students majoring in anthropology are encouraged to include courses in sociology, history, political science, international studies, psychology, economics, statistics and computer programming in their program of study.
  • The anthropology faculty very strongly recommends that anthropology majors take MATH 104 Elementary Statistics  or a higher level statistics course as one of the two math courses fulfilling the general education requirements. This requirement should be fulfilled as early in an individual’s program as possible and certainly within the first 6 credit hours after declaration of the anthropology major.
