Requirements
In addition to meeting the general University degree requirements, the anthropology major must meet minimum departmental requirements as follows:
Courses
Students earning the B.S. are required to take Stat 244
NOTE: Anthropology B.A. majors must complete two years of a foreign language or demonstrate equivalent proficiency.
Total Credit Hours: 53-54
Elective requirements
Students are required to take 20 upper division elective credits including 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 12 of the 20 credits must be in 400-level courses. Four of the 20 credits may be in omnibus numbered-courses (i.e., Anth 401, Anth 404, Anth 405, Anth 407).
Four of the required 20 elective credits may be taken on a pass/no pass basis; all other 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, Ling 390 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).
