Modified Major
Modified Major
The Modified Major consists of eleven courses, to be selected as follows:
- An introductory course: Choose from ANTH 01, 03, 05, 06, 08, or 09.
- Five additional ANTH courses of your choosing. Must include at least one course from TWO of the three subfields (ARCH, BIOL, CULT).
- Four courses above the prerequisite level in one or more other departments or programs.
- A Culminating Experience Seminar, which is designated by course numbers in the 70s (e.g. ANTH 72 - ANTH 78).
How to Modify Your Anthropology Major
Students wishing to modify their Anthropology major must submit a written rationale that makes clear the coherence and purpose of their modified major. This rationale must be reviewed by and approved by any faculty in the Anthropology department, and must also be submitted to the Registrar. For more information on modified majors, see the ORC/Catalog.
If you are interested in pursuing the Honors Program and the faculty approves your thesis proposal, you must enroll in ANTH 88. This course would be counted as the twelfth course beyond the eleven required to complete the modified major.
NOTE: Every course counted as an actual part of the major must be passed with a recorded letter grade.
NOTE: In designing the multiple major program, it is not possible to use any individual course as part of more than a single major (although a course may be part of one major and prerequisite to the other, or prerequisite to each major).
