ANTHROPOLOGY
Joseph Manzella
CHAIRPERSON
The major in anthropology may choose between a Bachelor of Science degree or a Bachelor of Arts degree. The Bachelor of Science requires students to major in anthropology with or without concentrating in one of anthropology’s four distinct fields – cultural anthropology, archaeology, physical (or biological) anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. Students also may chose to enroll in a Bachelor of Arts degree in anthropology, which is more general in nature.
All majors in anthropology are required to take the following core courses:
ANT 101 — Cultural Anthropology
ANT 102 — Physical Anthropology
ANT 204 — Language and Culture
ANT 205 — Prehistoric Archaeology
Bachelor of Science in Anthropology (without concentration)
The Bachelor of Science in anthropology without a concentration requires an internship but allows flexibility. Specifically, it is oriented toward crafting a specialization outside the strict boundaries of anthropology’s traditional four fields. This option permits a student’s program to be customized.
In addition to the core courses, B.S. majors are required to take the following:
ANT electives – 12+ credits
ANT (methods) 465, 470, 475 or 402 – 3 or 4 credits
ANT 480 — Theory in Anthropology – 3 credits
ANT 497 — Internship – 6 credits
Bachelor of Science in Anthropology (with concentration)
The Bachelor of Science in Anthropology with a concentration permits students to concentrate or specialize in one of anthropology’s four fields – cultural anthropology, archaeology, physical anthropology, or linguistic anthropology. This career-oriented option is directed toward students who have a clear idea of their goals within the broad field of anthropology.
In addition to the core courses, B.S. majors with a concentration are required to take the following:
ELECTIVE courses related to one of the four fields – 12+ credits
ANT (methods) 465, 470, 475 or 402 – 3 or 4 credits
ANT 497 — Internship – 6 credits
ANT 480 — Theory in Anthropology – 3 credits
Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology
The Bachelor of Arts option is designed to reflect the full breadth and depth of anthropology within a theoretical rather than a career-oriented context. The broader focus of the Bachelor of Arts will be particularly helpful to students who prefer not to be channeled into a concentration or specialization in their undergraduate years.
In addition to the core courses, B.A. majors are required to take the following:
ANT electives – 15 credits
ANT (methods) 465, 470, 475 or 402 – 3 or 4 credits
ANT 480 — Theory in Anthropology – 3 credits
ANT 490 — Seminar – 3 credits
Bachelor of Science Internships
Internships in the B.S. track emphasize the real life experience of anthropology. They allow students to apply anthropological coursework to real world issues, situations, and institutions. The internship, therefore, becomes a key component in the four B.S. concentrations and in the B.S. option without a concentration.
MINOR IN ANTHROPOLOGY
Liberal Arts and Secondary Education Programs
After completing ANT 101, the student selects five additional courses in anthropology. With the approval of the department, courses in sociology or related fields may be substituted.
CONCENTRATION IN ANTHROPOLOGY
The minor concentration of 15 credits in anthropology, taken with the consent of the department, includes any course taken beyond the University Requirement, ANT 101.
Field School in Tanzania
One internship option is an exciting summer field school experience in Tanzania, under supervision of the faculty in anthropology. Located at Laetoli and Olduvai Gorge, this school provides structured field-oriented instruction in physical anthropology, archaeology, geology, stratigraphy, zoology, ecology, medical anthropology, and survey and excavation methods. Please consult with the anthropology faculty regarding this project.
