人类学
人类学 integrates perspectives from the social sciences, 人文学科, and 自然科学 to better understand human diversity across time and space. Students learn to embrace connections among human history, 文化, and biology in order to tackle social problems, 使社区, and confront challenges to our environment.
Our program provides students with strong foundations in cultural anthropology (the study of contemporary 文化s and social organization), archaeology (the study of 文化s and social organization from material remains), and biological anthropology (human biological and evolutionary diversity). 先进的课程, 独立研究, and field experiences allow majors and minors to focus their studies in preparation for a wide range of careers, 包括教育, 技术设计, 法律, 医学, 社会工作, 公共卫生, 城市规划, 市场研究, 取证, and cultural resource management.
专业
- Ten and one-half departmental units (at least 6 of which must be 十大菠菜台子 units):
- The three foundational introductory courses (100, 110, 和120年), which should be completed by the end of the sophomore year.
- A specific intermediate course: 人类学 201.
- Three additional courses from the essentials category (200-250). One intermediate-level non-English language course (Chinese 115, 210年法国, 日本115年, 115年俄罗斯, 西班牙210), or higher-level courses taught in those languages may be applied to an essentials requirement.
- 人类学380 (.5)(高级顶点).
- The remaining 3 units may be satisfied by elective anthropology courses chosen in consultation with the advisor, 1 of which must be from the 300 level.
- Supporting courses: No single set of courses is relevant to every anthropology major; however, students with specialized interests in certain areas within anthropology may be advised to complete relevant courses in the 人文学科, 自然科学, and/or other social sciences. 课程 in statistics, competence in a field relevant language, and proficiency in computer-based data analysis are urged. Interdisciplinary minors in museum studies and area studies are especially relevant to a major in anthropology. Students interested in graduate work in anthropology should pay special attention to these recommendations as well as complete an honors thesis in their senior year.
- Writing/communication requirement: Communication within the discipline of anthropology occurs through writing, photography and filmmaking, 口头报告, multimedia productions, and the creation of posters that convey information.
- Anthropological writing includes a wide variety of styles and genres, including expository essays, 实验室报告, 研究成果, ethnographic note-taking, 文化的描述, 还有创造性的小说. A certain amount of reflexivity is expected in all anthropological writing; that is, the writer must communicate to the reader an awareness of the ways in which writing itself constructs and conveys the message or information. Writing of various sorts is built into the anthropology major. Foundational courses (100, 110, 120) introduce students to the diversity among anthropological subfields and the writing styles that accompany each. 人类学 100 requires essay writing, and students learn the style of 实验室报告 in 120. Each component of the intermediate and foundational courses requires students to write in a style appropriate to the discipline and incorporate theoretical analysis. The elective courses require students to think, 分析, 合成, and present their results in writing. A number of courses also require that students present the results of their work orally. Students who intend to go to graduate school are strongly encouraged to complete an honors thesis.
