Anthropology 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 22 credit hours. This includes 10 hours in three introductory courses (ATH 2100, 2200, CST 2410) which expose students to the subfields of cultural and physical anthropology and archaeology. Three Upper-level courses are structured to allow students to examine the content of each subfield in greater depth. One required course in theory can be taken in either archaeology (ATH 4700) or cultural anthropology (ATH 4750).
