Elective requirements
Upper-division electives shall be selected from at least two subfields of anthropology (physical, socio-cultural, or archaeology) and include at least one methods course (i.e., Anth 412, Anth 415, Anth 452, Anth 453, Anth 454, Anth 455, Anth 477, Anth 478, Anth 479). At least 8 of the 24 credits must be in formally numbered 400-level courses (i.e., not including Anth 401, Anth 404, Anth 405, Anth 407, Anth 410). Note: In exceptional circumstances, the department may permit a student to apply a maximum of one lower-division course to the upper-division elective requirement.
All anthropology courses used to satisfy the departmental major requirements must be taken for a letter grade and must have been assigned a grade of C- or better. Courses taken outside the department as part of departmental requirements (i.e. Ling 232, Ling 233 or Stat 244, World Languages and Literatures courses) may be taken pass/no pass (subject to the University limitations on the maximum number of hours taken pass/no pass) or for a letter grade. However, students who take these courses for a letter grade must earn a C- or better. Students must earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or better in all courses required for the anthropology bachelor’s degree (including those courses taken outside the department as part of departmental requirements).
