Effective Autumn Quarter 2006, the Anthropology Department has revised its major requirements. The major still requires 55 credits, but with two significant changes: 1) allowance of one 100-level Anthropology course; and 2) addition of a course to satisfy the Anthropology statistics requirement.
As the result of a foundation course initiative, the faculty are developing new Anthropology courses at the 100 level. These foundation courses will serve as introductions to the discipline by way of specific topics. Therefore, students now have the option of including one 100-level Anthropology course (ANTH, BIO A, or ARCHY), whether taken at the UW or another institution, as part of their major. In addition, Soc 220 has been added to our list of acceptable courses to meet the Anthropology statistics requirement. We hope these changes will give students more flexibility to complete their major in a timely way.
