U-EVANT-BS - Evolutionary Anthropology (BS)

Prerequisite. Evolutionary Anthropology 101 or 101D

Corequisites. Biology 201L and 202L; Chemistry 101DL and 201DL; Mathematics 111; Physics 141L; introductory statistics (any level). Equivalent courses can be approved by the director of undergraduate studies.

Major Requirements. Eight courses numbered 200 or above are required (not including the above pre- and corequisites) of which one course must be numbered 400 or above (a capstone course). One course is required in each of the following areas: 1) anatomy/paleoanthropology and 2) behavior/ecology/cognition (see listings in the Handbook for Majors). At least three additional courses must be taken in evolutionary anthropology and an additional three courses may be taken in evolutionary anthropology or from a preapproved list of 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 major. Evolutionary anthropology offers two optional concentrations.

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.
