Independent study or honors research on appropriate projects may be applied to the Minor for up to 4 credits with the approval of the Program Director.

Students who declare an Anthropology Major and an Archaeology Minor must include among the courses selected for the Minor at least 8 credits of course work from a discipline other than Anthropology. No course other than ANTH 103 may be used to fulfill the requirements for both the Anthropology Major and the Archaeology Minor.
