U-EVANT-AB - Evolutionary Anthropology (AB)

Prerequisite. Evolutionary Anthropology 101 or 101D

Corequisite. Biology 202L

Major Requirements. Nine courses are required (not including the above pre and corequisites) of which eight courses must be 200-level or above and one course must be a 400-level or above (capstone course). One course is required in each of the following areas: 1) anatomy/paleoanthropology and 2) behavior/ecology/cognition (see allowed course listings in the Handbook for Majors). At least three additional courses must be taken in Evolutionary Anthropology and another four courses may be taken in either Evolutionary Anthropology or from a list preapproved electives in related departments. One of the above courses must be a lab/field experience in Evolutionary Anthropology (research independent study may count toward this requirement). Note that no more than two independent studies may be counted toward the nine courses required. Evolutionary Anthropology offers three optional concentrations (see below).

Areas of Concentration

Students may elect to complete courses representing an in-depth study of a given area within Evolutionary Anthropology. There are currently three area concentrations available: 1) anatomy and paleoanthropology; 2) behavior, ecology, and cognition; and 3) human biology. Concentrations require that three of the five courses in Evolutionary Anthropology (as required by the major) be taken in the area of concentration. Preapproved courses for each area can be found in the Handbook for Majors.
