“Anthropology” from the Greek anthropos (“human”) and logia (“science”) is the scientific study of humankind, from its beginnings millions of years ago to the present day. Its subject matter is both exotic (initiation rites of the Ganda of Uganda) and commonplace (anatomy of the human hand). Its focus is both sweeping and microscopic. Anthropologists may study the environmental impact of a new industry, the folklore of West Virginia, primate disease patterns, prehistoric cultures in North Carolina, or secret societies. Requires a minimum of 33 hours and must include ANT 112, 113, 114, 340, 390, and one course from each of the following three groups: Methods, Subfield Topics, and Area. Students must also take the equivalent of three additional 3 hour courses toward the major. At least two of these must be in anthropology; the third may be from a related discipline as approved by the major advisor.
