Departmental Honors

Requirements

Honors students must enroll in ANTH-A 399 Honors Tutorial in Anthropology, in which a thesis must be prepared from original research. ANTH-A 399 may be repeated once. A one-hour oral examination over the thesis will be administered during the senior year by a three-member committee, of which one member is to be selected from outside the Department of Anthropology. Eligible and interested students should consult with the departmental honors advisor.

The department also offers student membership opportunities in the Kappa Chapter of Lambda Alpha, the National Collegiate Anthropological Honor's Society, a student organization.
