Each major is strongly encouraged to study a foreign language in depth, take a course in statistical methods, and spend appreciable time experiencing another culture. This may be done by attending college in a foreign country for a semester or year, taking part in a summer research or study program, or traveling. Students should discuss the possibilities of such work with their departmental advisor.
Each major is also strongly encouraged to complete a departmental internship (ANTH 490) or to take part in a fieldwork course (ANTH 493).
For students majoring in Anthropology, all courses designated as anthropology (ANTH) that may be applied to the major are included in the determination of the grade point average in the major.
