Students may not enroll in a course as a CAPSTONE if they have already taken the parallel course.
Study abroad is strongly encouraged and the program of study outlined here can be adjusted to accommodate study
abroad in any semester.
Summer Biological Anthropology field schools offered through the department or through other universities and programs
are also excellent options for elective courses, and may in some cases also substitute for ANT 3300 or 3320 and possibly
others with advanced approval.
Departmental Honors: any course may be contracted as an HONORS course if the instructor agrees and the course is
suitable; HONORS research and thesis courses can fill the “open courses” at the Senior level.
Foreign language is not required for the B.S., but is highly recommended for all anthropology majors.
Minor is optional but quite feasible.
Residency Requirements:
o 31 hours must be from ASU
o 18 hours in the major must be from ASU
o 9 hours in the minor must be from ASU
o Final 30 hours must be courses taken through ASU (includes internships, study abroad taken through ASU)
