Anthropology Major

Four core courses:

• ANTH 102 - Introduction to Cultural Anthropology

• This course must be taken prior to senior year and is offered in the Spring of each year.  There are very few study abroad courses that serve as an equivalent. If you plan to study abroad during the Spring Semester of your Junior year, you must take this course in the Spring of your Sophomore year unless your study abroad program offers an approved equivalent.
