Anthropology (BS)
- Program Overview
The BS degree program allows majors to integrate anthropology with scientific training
relevant to certain career paths. You might consider the BS degree if, for example,
you are interested in biological anthropology or archaeology, or if you want to combine
anthropology with other sciences as part of a pre-health program. The BS combines
foundational work in each of the four sub-fields of anthropology with training in
quantitative methods and laboratory or field settings.
Anthropology courses that apply to this major emphasize natural science methodologies
and theories (see worksheet for requirements). Not all courses required for the major
are offered every year, and new courses added to the department's offerings may well
count toward the degree, so you should treat the list of courses as a guide, subject
to change. Students are encouraged to see the Director of Undergraduate Studies if
they have any questions about major requirements or course selection for the upcoming
semester.
