Departmental Honors Program
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology, desiring to recognize those majors who have attained superior achievement, has instituted a program allowing a student to graduate with honors in either Sociology or Anthropology. The department identifies superior achievement when students maintain a high standard of excellence throughout their coursework and when an honors project is initiated and executed. The Department believes that students will receive maximum benefit from their undergraduate work when they have the opportunity to set and realize goals in the areas of research and analysis.
See Honors Program for more information.
Minor in Anthropology
The minor in Anthropology contains 32 credit hours. This includes 12 hours in three introductory courses (ATH 241, 242, CST 241) which expose students to the subfields of cultural and physical anthropology and archaeology. Upper-level courses are structured to allow students to examine the content of each subfield in greater depth. The required course in theory can be taken in either archaeology (ATH 468) or cultural anthropology (ATH 448).
