The anthropology curriculum is part of a cooperative program between Scripps College and Pitzer College. The major in anthropology requires a minimum of ten and one-half courses plus the senior thesis for Scripps students.
Anthropology includes a variety of subfields, which are incorporated in the major.
It is the goal of the major to introduce every student to all subfields. However, students often develop special areas of interest within anthropology. To accommodate this diversity, the major offers two alternative tracks. In consultation with the advisers, students should select one of these tracks.
