Continuing, returning, and transfer students must meet progression requirements before declaring a major in anthropology.
Progression into the anthropology major is based on performance in the three prerequisite courses – ANTH 110 * or ANTH 117 *, ANTH 120 * or ANTH 127 *, and ANTH 130 * or ANTH 137 *. Students must complete the three introductory courses with a grade of C or better. Upon satisfactory completion of the prerequisites, the student may apply for progression into the anthropology major by completing a formal application for progression in the Anthropology Department and including with that application an academic history demonstrating satisfactory completion of the progression requirements. Progression applications are reviewed upon receipt. Upon progression to the major, a department advisor will be assigned in consultation with the student.
