Students who major in anthropology have the option to work toward one of three specialized Concentrations within the major, which will appear on their University transcript. To complete a Concentration, students must complete all other requirements for the major, and fulfill the specific Concentration requirements as listed below. A student may choose to specialize in one
concentration only.
Specific classes that can be counted toward each Concentration can be found on the pages listed below, and on the Department website. Students should consult with Concentration faculty when choosing courses, as these lists will be updated periodically, and not all classes will be offered in every semester. When selecting Concentration courses, students should keep in mind that a maximum of only two courses (6 credits) from beyond Anthropology (courses with other than an ANTH prefix) can be counted toward the Anthropology major. To declare a concentration, students should meet with the faculty advisor for that concentration. Contact information can be found on the Department website, or from the Director of Undergraduate Programs in Anthropology.
The three Concentrations are as follows:
B.A. in Anthropology with a Concentration in Culture and Communication
B.A. in Anthropology with a Concentration in Indigenous Worlds
B.A. in Anthropology with a Concentration in Medical Anthropology, Ethics, and Care
