*Please Note: The Flexible Pre-Major Program has been discontinued and will no longer be updated. The agreements listed below are for historical reference only and should not be considered a guaranteed pathway. To view current course articulations, please go the Course Search.

The Anthropology Flexible Pre-Major in Anthropology consists of five courses (15 credits):

1. At least one lower-level (first or second year) Anthropology course (3 credits minimum) in each of these three areas:

social / cultural
biological/physical
archaeology

If the student takes an introductory course which combines physical/biological anthropology with Archaeology, the student must then take a second lower-level course in either biological/physical anthropology or archaeology.

2. A second-year general introductory research methods course (3 credits minimum)

If such a course is not available in the Anthropology department, a comparable course provided through another discipline such as Sociology or Psychology may be substituted

3. A minimum of five lower-level (either first or second year) Anthropology courses (15 credits minimum) including the courses listed in 1) and 2).

Students transferring to programs with Anthropology majors requiring six lower-level Anthropology courses may take the additional course or credits in year three of their program.

NOTES:

None of the courses constituting the requirements for the flexible pre-major in Anthropology may substitute for upper-level requirements in the receiving institution.
The flexible pre-major does not excuse students from non-discipline specific requirements of programs at the receiving institution, such as English, humanity or science credits. These must still be met prior to graduation with the major, and students are encouraged to examine the total program requirements of receiving institutions prior to applying for transfer.

Students are advised that completion of the Anthropology Flexible Pre-Major does not guarantee acceptance into programs with an Anthropology major. Acceptance depends on students obtaining a competitive GPA and/or meeting any other admission requirements specified by the receiving institution.
