Courses in environmental biology, offered through the Center for Environmental Research and Conservation, supplement those available through the Anthropology Department. The general anthropology program integrates material from the social sciences, the physical sciences, and the humanities. Anthropology is the only discipline that does so, and from this perspective, anthropology examines the social and biological constitution of the human species since its emergence. Students who develop specialized interests within the department may select any willing faculty member as their adviser. The student needs to let the departmental representative and undergraduate secretary know in writing the names of the specialized and faculty advisers.
Requirements depend upon the track chosen.
Students specializing in sociocultural anthropology are encouraged to take ANTH V1002 or the equivalent. Students who specialize within one subdiscipline may choose to take courses in other subdisciplines also. Students should consult with the departmental representative or the departmental consultant from their chosen subfield. The other courses needed to fulfill the requirements for the major will be determined in consultation with the departmental representative and departmental consultants. Students should devise their program of study in consultation with the departmental representative, the departmental consultants, or with the student s specialized adviser selecting courses that take into account the student s interests and lead to breadth and depth understandings in the discipline.
