THE ANTHROPOLOGY MAJOR AN 8-SEMESTER STUDY GRID
This is simply an example of what 8 semesters might look like for incoming First-Year students. If you declare your major later, or are a Transfer Student, your grid will look considerably different. Your choices may vary. Some ANTH courses, such as a Cross Cultural or Behavioral Social Sciences Core Distribution, fulfill more than one requirement, creating more space in your class schedule during a semester. Up to 6 credits of Core Distribution credits may be taken during Study Abroad. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with an Anthropology Department advisor at least once every semester.
