Concentrations within the Anthropology Major

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 do so, students must complete specific concentration requirements in addition to all other major requirements.

We offer the following Concentrations within the Anthropology Major:

B.A. in Anthropology with a Concentration in Medical Anthropology, Ethics, and Care

B.A. in Anthropology with a Concentration in Culture and Communication

B.A. in Anthropology with a Concentration in Indigenous Worlds

Note:  Majors seminar on appropriate topics can, in most cases, count towards the concentration electives.  Further, with the exception of the Concentration in Culture and Communication requirement that students take the concentration elections in addition to their linguistics distribution requirement, students may use concentration courses towards the distribution requirements as needed.

To declare a concentration, students should meet with the faculty advisor for that concentration:
