The anthropology major gives a student an overview of the discipline as well as training in all four sub-fields. The major consists of 25 credits, while a minor in anthropology consistes of twelve credits. Sociology, history, education, language, biology, geology, psychology, art, art history and classics are often selected as suitable anthropology minors. It is also possible to minor in one of the four fields of anthropology by combining relevant courses from other departments. The minor for the anthropology major is selected after consultation with the undergraduate advisor or chair.

The Pluralism and Diversity Requirement

At the initiation of then President LeClerc, the college formulated a Pluralism and Diversity supplement to the then undergraduate distribution requirements (now known as the Core requirement). Begun in the fall of 1993 this 12 hour requirement insures that students will have at least one course in each of four areas defined as:

1. PD/A a course which focuses on historical and intellectural issues comprising the study of non-European cultures or their political/economic systems, especially those of Africa, Asia, or those indigenous to the Americas;

2. PD/B a course that focuses on the perspectives and contributions of one or more of the following groups in the United States of America: African-Americans, Asian Americans, Latino Americans, and Native Americans;

3. PD/C a course that focuses on the perspectives and concerns of women and/or issues of gender/sexual orientation;

4. PD/D a course that focuses on major issues - artistic, literary, practical or theoretical - reflected in the intellectual traditions of, or primarily derived from Europe

Courses that satisfy the Pluralism and Diversity Requirement may simultaneously meet a student's Core Requirement or courses necessary for a major or minor area of study. While some courses may be listed in more than one group of the P&D requirement, students will be able to apply such a course to only one of the four areas
