CIP Code: 45.0201

This Concentration provides an opportunity for students to integrate their work in Anthropology with many of the key perspectives from Environmental Studies. The relationship between the two fields is approached through a series of courses all taught by the Anthropology faculty. The courses demonstrate the critical relationship that exists between human settlement patterns and their environmental setting. Applications are drawn from the prehistoric past up through the contemporary world. Students should contact their adviser to explore the opportunities for including these selections into their course of study.

The student may select from any other courses offered by the Department of Anthropology to complete the major, subject only to the restriction that at least one course beyond the introductory level must be taken in each of the following three areas:

cultural anthropology
physical anthropology
archaeology

When chosen in consultation with the adviser, three additional credits from outside of the anthropology course offerings will be accepted toward the anthropology major.

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 must also satisfy the University’s foreign language requirement. There is no University requirement for a foreign language for other bachelor’s degrees such as the B.S. or B.F.A.

Note:

Courses are 3 credits unless noted otherwise.
