The Major in Anthropology
The Major Program in Anthropology is geared towards a core of motivated students. It stresses interaction between students and faculty; hands-on laboratory, field and career experienes; training in research methodology; and mastery of analytical and communication skill
The Anthropology Major consists of a 39 credit core that allows students to augment their education with a dual major or minor in another field applicable to their goals and needs.
Anthropology majors are strongly urged to purse a BA degree (which has a foreign language requirement) rather than the BS degree.

| Strongly Recommended for all Majors | ||
We suggest that all Majors complete an archaeological field school, semester-abroad program or internship (ANT 462 or BCE 322) depending on their anthropological interests. In addition we recommend that students take courses in foreign language (four semesters), statistics, computer applications, and advanced writing depending on their career goals. Courses ancillary to anthropology may be suggested by the advisor if these are relevant to career or graduate school goals. For example, anthropology majors intending to pursue careers and/or graduate work in areas such as museum work, physical anthropology, palentology, archaeology, conservancy/conservaion, medicine, and law will be advised to take additional courses in disciplinary areas relevant to their career goals.
