REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ANTHROPOLOGY MAJOR

For new majors in Anthropology, these are the requirements you must follow.

CONCENTRATIONS

Given anthropology's unique foci, our anthropology courses are intended to systematically open for you perspectives on the nature of humankind. To achieve this object, as a Department we organize our courses into three Concentrations:

(a) Evolution and Ecology, which examines the evolution of the human and related species, and human adaptations to the environment in all their variability;

(b) the Anthropology of Meaning, which seeks to interpret the meanings and symbols of cultures; and

(c) Social Systems, which studies collectivities, social change, and relations between groups marked by various kinds of inequalities (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, class, nationality).

As an undergraduate, you may also be interested in courses within the Archaeology and Medical Anthropology Programs, which are formally part of our graduate program.

OUR MAJOR AND ITS REQUIREMENTS

We require Anthropology 97, and 24 other credit hours in anthropology courses, normally 8 other 3-hour courses, for the major. Anthropology 97, Directions in Anthropology, is our core course for majors which seeks to provide an integrative perspective on the theories and history of anthropology, and on the significance of being an anthropology major. We expect you normally to take ANTH 97 in your junior year.
Beyond Anthropology 97, for the 24 credit hours of anthropology courses required for the major:

• you need to choose at least one course from each of the three Concentrations (see list below); and
• you can have no more than three anthropology courses numbered below 90, and
• no more than 9 hours of field-oriented coursework (Anthropology 93, 99F, 151 or 153) can be counted toward the major requirement. (You can take more than 9 credit hours of field-oriented courses, but the amount of credit-hours beyond 9 won't count toward the major.)
  Of the nine courses for the major, you must complete six, with a minimum grade in each of "C" or higher.

If you are a major seriously interested in Anthropology either as a career or as a resource for you in public life, we recommend you take Anthropology 98, Senior Seminar in Anthropology, offered once every academic year in the Fall semester. Anthropology 98 considers the assumptions of the discipline of anthropology, the relations between anthropology and other disciplines, and the ethical implications of anthropological research. Anthropology 98 has a limited enrollment. Although Anthropology 97 is not required as a prerequisite, we recommend that you take it prior to or together with Anthropology 98.

We also encourage you to enroll in field-oriented coursework, such as Anthropology 93 (Internship in Anthropology), 99F (Fieldwork Projects), 151 (Field School in Archaeology), or 153 (Field School in South American Archaeology) or in courses as part of Study Abroad (see Study Abroad).

For help in formulating your program of study as a major, your best resource is your individual faculty advisor in the Anthropology Department.

MEETING COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS

As an Anthropology major you must meet all Perspectives, electives, and other requirements in the College of Arts & Sciences. To ensure this, at least once each semester you should consult with your other adviser -- the advisor for Anthropology in the College of Arts and Sciences office in Steele Building. This person is currently Bill Bisese at 843--3343, on the third floor of Steele Bldg.

COURSES BY CONCENTRATION

The following are our courses listed by Concentration for purposes of your Concentration distribution requirement. (As always, bear in mind that the list of these courses in the current Undergraduate Bulletin is definitive.)

• Evolution and Ecology Concentration: ANTH, 102, 110, 111, 111A, 111B, 111C, 112, 114, 115, 116, 117, 119, 131, 139, 150, 151, 152, 153, 156, 158, 159, 160

• Meaning Concentration: ANTH 90, 105, 121, 123, 125, 128, 129, 130, 134, 135, 137, 138, 141, 142, 145, 146, 154, , 166, 167,170, 171, 173, 174, 179, 184, 185, 188, 192, 196

• Social Systems Concentration: ANTH, 119, 120, 122, 129, 130, 131, 133, 137, 140, 141, 145, 147, 148, 150, 149, 154, 155, 156, 158, 159, 162, 165, 166, 167, 168, 170, 177, 178, 182, 185, 186
  

DOUBLE MAJORS

You may double major in anthropology and some other field. If you decide to enroll in anthropology as a second major, you should inform the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

INDEPENDENT RESEARCH, INTERNSHIPS, AND FIELD SCHOOLS

As a major, if you wish to explore an area of anthropology outside the conventional classroom setting, or desire advanced or specialized work beyond current course offerings, you should consider taking Anthropology 93, 99, 99F, 151, or 153.

Anthropology 93 is the Internship in Anthropology.

Anthropology 99 provides you with the opportunity to engage in independent study, and Anthropology 99F the opportunity to engage in field research, under the mentoring of a specific faculty member. You can obtain variable credit for these courses, although 3 hours are usually expected. In general, you should only take ANTH 99 or 99F if you have had at least some prior coursework in anthropology or a related social science.

Anthropology 99 and 99F both require the prior permission of the faculty member under whom you wish to conduct research, obtained before the semester in which you plan to enroll in either of them. Both are controlled enrollment courses for which you can't register through CAROLINE, but only through the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Our advice: first see you own faculty advisor and, after talking with him or her, the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

Anthropology 151 and 153 are 6-hour field school courses in which you will gain hands-on experience in research and study in the field under the direction of a faculty member. As an Anthropology Major, you are limited to having no more than nine credit hours of field-oriented coursework (Anthropology 93, 99F, 151 or 153) count toward meeting your major requirement, although you are not restricted from enrolling in more than nine credit hours of these courses combined. Our advice: if in doubt, see your advisor!

A NOTE ABOUT LINGUISTICS

The Department of Anthropology does not offer courses in linguistic anthropology. However, there are three courses offered in the Linguistics Department relevant to anthropology which are crosslisted in our Department: ANTH 84, Language and Power (Crowhurst), ANTH 171, Sociolinguistics (Roberge), and ANTH 192, Pidgins and Creoles (Roberge). If you are interested, we encourage you to take one or more of these courses as elective courses for credit toward the Major in Anthropology.

Minor in General Anthropology

If you have heavy demands in a major other than Anthropology, but wish to pursue your interest in anthropology, then the Minor in General Anthropology may be a viable option for you. The Minor in General Anthropology consists of five 3-hour courses taken in the Department. A maximum of two of your courses may be numbered below 90; at least one course must come from each of the three Concentrations. No more than one of your courses can be used to fulfil the General College Perspectives requirements. You have to obtain a grade of "C" or higher in at least four of the five courses, and you must take at least three of your courses for the Minor at UNC-Chapel Hill or in a program officially sponsored by the University. We recommend that if you decide to do a Minor in General Anthropology that you contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

Minor in Medical Anthropology

This option is especially appropriate if you are planning for a career in medicine or the health professions. The minor consists of five three-hour courses taken from the following: Anthropology 47, 114, 115, 119, 123, 141, 166, 170, and 173. No more than one course can be used to fulfil the General College Perspectives requirements. You must have a grade of "C" or higher in at least four of the five courses, and you must take at least three courses at UNC-Chapel Hill or in a program officially sponsored by the University. We recommend that if you are planning on a Minor in Medical Anthropology that you contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

Minor in Archaeology

(for additional information about the archaeology minor please contact Prof. Margaret Scarry, at scarry@email.unc.edu in Anthropology or Prof. Donald Haggis at dchaggis@email.unc.edu in Classics)

The minor in Archaeology draws on a number of disciplines and departments—principally Anthropology, Classics, and Art—in the study of the ancient world, the reconstruction of past lifeways, and the interpretation of ancient social, political, and economic systems. The curriculum is designed to expose students to methods of recovering, documenting, and interpreting material culture, while providing exposure to diverse approaches and theoretical frameworks current in analyses of ancient societies and culture traits. Historical, environmental, and comparative components encourage the examination of attributes of culture systems through time and space. The geographic scope of the program includes North America, Latin America, Europe, Greece, Italy, Anatolia, the eastern Mediterranean, Egypt, and the Near East.

The minor helps prepare students for graduate study in anthropological archaeology, classical archaeology, cultural resource management, and historical preservation. It also provides any student with a strong intellectual interest in archaeology with a structured introduction to this field.

Courses that satisfy requirements of the minor are classified into four main categories. The core courses offer the basic concepts in the discipline as well as a survey of archaeological theories and methods, including hands-on experience (i.e., through the "field schools," usually taught during the summer). The comparative courses offer diverse approaches to understanding long-term human biological, cultural, and social change in ancient times. The area-studies courses explore cultural patterns within geographic regions or chronological periods. The topical courses are thematic, representing specialized scientific studies, theoretical concerns, or methodological problems.

The minor consists of five courses: two core courses (no more than one of which can be a field school), one comparative course, one area-studies course, and one topical course. The courses used to satisfy these requirements must come from at least two departments. At least one of the courses used to fulfill the minor's requirements must be numbered 90 or above.
