Requirements
The major consists of ten courses: three required courses and seven additional courses. Of the seven additional courses, two must be at the 200 level, two at the 300 level, and one at the 400 level. The remaining two courses may be at any level.
Majors who plan to study away are required to take ANT 297 (2 credits) during the semester prior to studying away, and ANT 298 (2 credits) during the semester immediately following their semester abroad. Combined, the two seminars can satisfy one 200-level course requirement for the major. ANT 297/298 is typically offered in the evenings every other week, for a total of 6 to 7 meetings in a single semester.
A maximum of two anthropology courses taken abroad can be applied to the major and may be counted toward the archaeology concentration, upon approval by the chair of the department.
