Can an Anthropology course taken at another university be applied towards my major or minor?
If the College of Arts and Sciences accepts transfer of credits for an Anthropology course taken at another University, it is then possible to petition the NYU Department of Anthropology to have those credits count towards an NYU Anthropology degree. You may petition to have up to the equivalent of four courses (16 units) applied towards the major or the equivalent of up to two courses (8 units) applied toward the minor. To do so, you must present the Director of Undergraduate Studies with a copy of the syllabus and reading list for the course. The Department’s Undergraduate Curriculum Committee will then review the course and decide if it is appropriate to count towards the major or minor. At least five of your nine Anthropology classes must be taken within the NYU Department of Anthropology.
