CONCENTRATIONS

To: Anthropology students
Here is some information on Anthropology concentrations that you may find useful.

Anthropology has 7 concentrations, which students are welcome to choose from in planning out their courses. This is voluntary, but encouraged. Once you have chosen a concentration and taken the courses you need in order to meet its requirements, the Department will give you a certificate attesting to this.

The concentrations are as follows:

  • Archaeology and Cultural Heritage
    ANT1710, 2710, 2720, 2730 or 2760, 2810, 4720
  • Tourism and Cultural Representation
    ANT2230, 2520, 2730, 2760, 3220 or 4220, 3370, 3720 or 4720
  • Globalization
    ANT2510, 2520, 3340, 3350, 3370, 3380, 4210, 4330
  • Culture and Human Relations
    ANT1310, 2310, 2320, 2330, 2350, 2360, 2510, 3380
  • Chinese Cultures and Societies

  • Food, Health and the Body
    ANT1310, 2320, 2360, 2810, 3350, 4330

Students are required to complete a minimum of five courses in order to be eligible for a concentration. (Aside from these, other courses may also sometimes be accepted for a course concentration with the approval of the Curriculum Committee; please see Dr. Mathews).


You are encouraged to begin thinking about concentrations early on, in your first year of study. There is, however, no need to formally declare the concentration until your final year of study, when you will have taken all the courses you need. When you have taken all the courses you need for a concentration, please download and submit the form to Florence.
