Elective requirements
Upper-division electives shall be selected from at least two subfields of anthropology (biological anthropology, socio-cultural anthropology, 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).
