What are the requirements for the major in Anthropology?
The major in anthropology consists of 36 points (typically nine 4-point courses), which include four required classes Human Society and Culture (V14.0001), Human Evolution (V14.0002), Archaeology: Early Societies and Cultures (V14.0003), and Anthropology of Language (V14.0017). The remaining elective courses may be selected from any subfield of anthropology. Students must take at least five courses from the Department of Anthropology at New York University in order to receive a major in anthropology from NYU, and a grade of at least C is required in every course to be counted toward the major. Students are not required to focus on any one of the subfields of anthropology represented in the department, but rather are free to choose elective courses that accommodate their interests as narrowly or broadly as they see fit, in consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
