INFORMATION FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN MAJORING IN ANTHROPOLOGY

HELLO! In order to help prospective anthropology majors negotiate their way through our complicated department, we want to provide you with some information. We offer three different but related majors in our department.


The requirements for completing the sociology and anthropology majors are almost identical (Social Work has its own requirements - please ask for the brochure on that program if you are interested). However, here's what you need to know to major in anthropology:
All anthropology faculty have done field research with people from cultures different from their own and bring a cross-cultural perspective to everything they teach. Almost all of the courses in our department are listed as both SOC and ANT courses (SWK social work classes are mostly separate). SOC and ANT courses count for EITHER major and may be taught in some semesters by an anthropologist and in some by a sociologist.


So -- If you want to pursue anthropology or be an anthropology major, REGISTER FOR THE ANT COURSE NUMBER AND SECTION of your course.
The anthropology side of our department is now growing! We have hired a brand new faculty member, and we want to expand what we offer to students interested in this field.
