Interdisciplinary Complement

A minimum of 12 credit hours in courses 300 or above

Courses for the interdisciplinary complement of this major are selected and approved in consultation with an anthropology faculty advisor. Courses are to be selected from at least two disciplines outside of anthropology, including directed studies course (422) and/or internship courses (492) offered by anthropology and other programs. Course selection is to be guided by the student's career goals and academic interests. Course selections should have a clear thematic focus.

Students emphasizing cultural anthropology should look to the social sciences and humanities (Africana studies, economics, english, geography, history, hispanic studies, political science, psychology, sociology, women's studies or the performing and visual arts) for their course selections.

Students emphasizing archaeology should consider courses in biology, earth sciences, geography, history, physics and/or chemistry. Students emphasizing physical anthropology should consider courses in biology, community health, nutrition and/or kinesiology. Other disciplines may also be relevant for particular career objectives and may be included in the interdisciplinary complement.

Elective LAC Credits - 40 hours
