Declaring a Major

"Globalization affects different countries differently, and in every country there are 'winners' and 'losers'" says Anthropology professor Joe Lugalla in his class on globalization for first-year students.

Students entering the University as first-year or transfer students may declare Anthropology as part of the Admissions process.

If you are a continuing student interested in declaring Anthropology as your major, you will need to complete the change of program process outlined below. To declare a major in Anthropology, students must have completed at least one introductory level anthropology course at the 400- or 500- level with a grade of C or better. Students are expected to make steady progress towards fulfillment of major requirements. Normally, this means taking at least one Anthropology course per semester until all requirements have been met.
