Anthropology (ANTH)
Department of Sociology and Anthropology, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology offers three types of courses: sociology courses with the prefix SOC*; anthropology
courses with the prefix ANTH*; and departmental courses with the prefix SOAN*. The departmental category of courses recognizes
the fact that the disciplines of sociology and sociocultural anthropology have developed in tandem and it is possible to identify
large areas of overlap and convergence in the work of practitioners both historically and in the present. Departmental courses
include most of the core theory and methods courses as well as many elective courses. They contribute equally to the subject
matter of sociology as well as the subject matter of sociocultural anthropology for purposes of the undergraduate programs
of study in both disciplines. Please see the listings for all courses required for the Anthropology program.
Courses will normally be offered in the semesters designated. Please check with the department for information about additional
semester offerings. In addition to regularly scheduled courses, students may elect to do independent study. A student who
wishes to do a reading course should first consult the professor with whom he/she wishes to work. Please note, a student is
allowed a total of 1.00 credits only for reading courses.
SOAN courses will be used towards the Anthropology specialization.
