Anthropology

Please refer to the current University Catalog to see the course descriptions and a major description with requirements for anthropology.

New students considering a major in anthropology should select ANTH 101, which fulfills three credits in Human Experience and Society or Global Inquiry. Transfer students considering a major in anthropology should also select ANTH 200 and ANTH 203 (which are co-requisites).

If you are entering UMW with transfer credit for introductory level courses in this major, please refer to the major requirements and course prerequisites in the University Catalog (see above) to see what courses you are required to take for the major and what prerequisites you have already met.

Please be sure to remember the General Education and Across-the Curriculum Requirements and how your individual transfer credit affects the remaining courses you must take at UMW for a BA/BS degree.
