Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Geography-Anthropology Program

Requirements for Concentration:


A total of 13 units, with no less than 6 units in each field, and the option of a senior thesis (GEOG 300 -GEOG 301  or GEOG 302 ). In geography, the following courses are required: an introductory course (GEOG 102 ); a methods course (GEOG 220 , GEOG 224 , or GEOG 230 ); a 200-level regional course (such as GEOG 236 , GEOG 238 , GEOG 242 ); GEOG 304  and another 300-level seminar. In Anthropology, coursework must include one 100-level course (ANTH 100 , ANTH 120 , ANTH 140 , or ANTH 150 ); ANTH 201-Anthropological Theory  and two other 200-level courses; and ANTH 301-Senior Seminar  and one other 300-level anthropology seminar.

Senior-Year Requirement


GEOG 304-Senior Seminar: Issues in Geographic Theory and Method  and ANTH 301-Senior Seminar  . An optional senior thesis (GEOG 300 -GEOG 301  or GEOG 302 ). Majors normally write a senior thesis to be considered for departmental honors. If a thesis is written, the thesis course counts toward the major, but it cannot be a substitute for one of the four required 300-level seminars.

Recommendations:


Fieldwork or a study abroad experience in either anthropology or geography is recommended highly.
