The most recent Guide to Graduate Programs in Anthropology is available in the Department Chair's office for your reference. Your advisor is also a good source of information about the graduate school application process. Each student must declare a major by the second semester of the sophomore year. Students wishing to declare a major in Anthropology can do so by filling out a Declaration of Major form in the departmental office in room 202 at 19 St. Philip Street. At the time of filling out the Declaration of Major form, Ms. Dee Dee Luff will assign you an advisor and set up an entrance interview appointment with Dr. Christine Hope, the departmental chair.
Students are free to request a faculty advisor of their choice or to request a change of advisor.
Your faculty advisor is available to you to help you with academic and vocational planning, academic problems, and application to professional or graduate school. The names and areas of specialization for departmental faculty are listed under Who's Who. A checklist of all requirements appears on the back cover of this handbook. Anthropology majors are encouraged to include courses in biology, computer programming, economics, geology, history, international studies, philosophy, political science, psychology, sociology, and statistics in the program of study. Interdisciplinary minors which incorporate one or more Anthropology courses include African Studies, African American Studies, Environmental Studies, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and Womens Studies.
