Course summary

This undergraduate program has three principle aims. It provides a major for those interested in pursuing a graduate degree in anthropology or an advanced professional degree such as medicine or law. It provides an interesting and imaginative course of study for those desiring a liberal, but rigorous, education and a better understanding of the human biological and cultural experience through time and space. It provides a minor for students desiring an anthropological component to their general education in any department or college of the University. A minor in anthropology may supplement a professional degree in allied fields such as psychology, education, sociology, or biology or in certificate programs such as criminology and corrections, or international relations.
