All majors (including double majors) have an advisor in the Department of Anthropology with whom they must consult regularly in planning their programs of study. The total number of courses required is 12 in the sociocultural track and 13 in the biological track. Both tracks require a grade of C or higher in all courses for the major. Students take two prerequisite courses, four principal courses, and either six (sociocultural track) or seven (biological track) additional courses.
