This plan of study represents just one way in which a student can complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology within four years. Because of the large number of ways to complete the degree requirements for this major, students should always consult their adviser for assistance regarding their specific plan of study.

You must complete enough electives to bring total credit hours up to the 125. Special Emphasis courses can fulfill an essential studies requirement (example-History 104, US History, will count toward the US Diversity as well as the Humanities area). Please Note: Every student must fulfill all University, Departmental, and Essential Studies requirements.
