Undergraduate Courses in Anthropology
General students who major in anthropology must elect the following courses: Anthropology 101*/102* and at least four additional courses (or half course equivalents) in Anthropology. Students who pursue on Honours Programme in Anthropology must take Anthropology 101*/102*, a theory course at the 400 level, and at least eight other courses (or half course equivalents) in Anthropology. Students may pursue a joint honours programme with the permission of Anthropology and the other discipline involved. Oorinarily this would mean taking seven anthropology courses (including Anthropology 101*/102*, and a theory course at the 400 level, seven courses in the other discipline and eight electives. Requirements of the second department may lead to some alteration of the formula. Students taking a combined honours programme should consult with advisers in both disciplines to obtain a programme tailored to their needs.
