For Undergraduates
Honors Track in Anthropology
Honors Track Requirements
The honors track sequence requires a minimum of 33 credits for the class of 2010 and a minimum of 36 credits for the class of 2011 and beyond. In addition to the requirements noted for the major, the honors track student must also take an additional methods course and a senior thesis or equivalent, which takes place in the senior year.
Students are encouraged to meet with their faculty advisor to refine project ideas, develop research designs, prepare grant proposals (as appropriate), and attend to other details related to the Honors Track.
You may formally declare an anthropology honors track major (ANTH-HONS) any time up through the second week of your final semester. If you declare after the final deadline, the honors designation may not appear on your transcript, even if you complete all other requirements. A minimum anthropology grade point average of 3.5 or faculty recommendation with vote of the department is required. Also, please see items under the "Major in Anthropology."
To declare the Honors Track in anthropology, please see Mrs. Schumacher. View her office location and office hours.
