Anthropology Track
The Anthropology Track focuses on the biological
and cultural development of the human species and the diversity
of human cultures. It is unique among fields that examine human
behavior because it brings together a comparative and global perspective,
and the time depth of five million years of prehistory. Thus, anthropology
courses help students acquire an understanding of human lifeways
that is not bound by their own time and culture. Students completing
this track may undertake graduate studies in anthropology. They
may also enter careers in other areas, such as social work, counseling,
education, medicine, public policy, law, labor organization, environmental
resource management, and economics and development.
Beyond the core courses listed above, students
in this track should take the following courses: Anthropology (ANT
204); Food and Culture (ANT 206); Crime, Culture and Conflict Resolution
(ANT 253); Sex, Gender and Culture (ANT 263); Gender, Environment
and Development (ANT 315); and Illness and Healing (ANT 326).
The following courses are required for students
who choose to combine the Anthropology Track with another academic
discipline: Introduction to Sociology (SOC 105) (Required General
Studies Introductory Social Science Course); Anthropology (ANT 204);
Statistics (SOC 207)(Counts as General Studies Quantitative Reasoning
course); three courses from: Food and Culture (ANT 206), Crime,
Culture and Conflict Resolution (ANT 253), Sex, Gender and Culture
(ANT 263), Gender, Environment and Development (ANT 315), or Illness
and Healing (ANT 326); plus Research Methods
(SOC 403); Internship (SOC 482) (or an approved elective course);
and Senior Seminar (SOC 490).
