The Department of Anthropology coordinates and directs a program for those who wish to pursue a career in the discipline of anthropology, for those simply interested in the human condition and for those who may wish to combine the study of anthropology with another discipline.
Courses in anthropology are grouped to provide students with an understanding of human physical, social and cultural complexity, and the relationships of humans to one another and the environment. Physical anthropology provides an understanding of human origins and human biological variability. Anthropological linguistics adds to the understanding of language and other forms of human communication within the context of culture. Archaeology provides a sense of the past by exploring the changes and development of ancient cultures and environments. Sociocultural anthropology provides appreciation and understanding of human social and cultural patterns and human behavior.
The department offers programs in the following areas:
1. Hours Required and General School Requirements: A minimum of 124 semester hours, of which 42 must be advanced, and fulfillment of degree requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree as specified in the " General University Requirements" in the Academics section of this catalog and the School of Community Service requirements.
2. Major Requirements: Major of 36 hours in anthropology, including ANTH 1010, 2250, 2500, 2700, 3100, and 4250. Of the remaining 18 elective hours, 15 must be taken at the upper-division level (3000 or 4000) and with a minimum of 6 hours from the 4000 level. A maximum of 6 hours of field-school and a maximum of 3 hours of ANTH 4920 may be applied toward satisfying the 36-hour requirement.
3. Other Course Requirements: In addition to the 36 hours of anthropology, candidates must take 3 hours from each of the following three areas.
