NY State Program Code: 04174
HEGIS Code: 2202.00
CIP Code: 45.0201

The Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with an Environmental Anthropology Concentration provides an opportunity for students to complete the degree requirements through courses focused primarily on the interaction of humans with their environment. These courses demonstrate the critical relationship that exists between human behavioral ecology, environmental setting and impact. Applications are drawn from the prehistoric past through the contemporary world with particular attention to adaptations to climate change, resource consumption, management, and political economy. Students should contact their adviser to explore the opportunities for including these selections into their course of study.

General Education


All students must satisfy the University’s General Education requirements , in addition to the requirements for the major. Students completing the B.A. degree in the College of Arts and Sciences must also satisfy the University’s foreign language requirement. There is no University requirement for a foreign language for the B.A. degree awarded by other schools of the University or for other bachelor’s degrees such as the B.S. or B.F.A. The State of New York requires 3 credits of a foreign language or passing score on the NY State Regents test in a language other than English. 

Note:


Courses that are greater than 3 credits require additional laboratory work outside of the lecture component and under the supervision of the instructor.  Courses are 3 credits unless noted otherwise.

Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Anthropology


Required GPA: 2.0
Credits Required for Major: 40
Credits Required to Graduate: 120

In addition to 5 core classes, students must take at least one course beyond the introductory level in each of the three areas of cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, and archaeology to complete the concentration in Environmental Anthropology. Students must take 4 additional courses indicated below. In consultation with the adviser 3 credits will be accepted toward the anthropology major from outside our departmental offerings. The field of anthropology is complementary to a number of other offerings at Adelphi, thus providing many opportunities for double majors. Students should contact the department to explore their interests in completing a double major.
