Bachelor of Arts in Geography-Anthropology

  The program leading to a major in geography-anthropology emphasizes the integration of the two disciplines. Among the elements that are integrated in the major are common interests in the relationship between human populations and their natural environments, decision-making strategies of human groups, and the health and nutritional status of human societies. The major is an interdisciplinary program wherein students are expected to take courses from both geography and anthropology. While the bachelor of arts degree is in geography-anthropology, students must select either a concentration in geography or a concentration in anthropology. Many students choose to concentrate in both areas. All majors share a set of foundation courses, but each concentration has its own requirements. The program of study beyond the basic requirements should be planned carefully, in close consultation with the student's departmental advisor, and should be approved by the latter. Such an arrangement allows for flexibility according to the student's interests while also providing close guidance and a control of educational quality by the Department.
