Anthropology is the study of humankind, in all of its facets, with a particular emphasis on cultures and evolution. The anthropological perspective is uniquely comparative and holistic. The ETSU anthropology department offers courses on cultural and physical anthropology as well as archaeology. Anthropology can prepare students to meet the demands of an increasingly globalized world and job market after graduation.
A student majoring in anthropology must complete 34 credit hours of approved courses. In addition to maintaining an overall grade point average of at least 2.0 in the major, a student must earn a minimum grade of C in each major core course. Students are strongly advised to complete ANTH 1240 , ANTH 1260 , and ANTH 1280 before enrolling in other required or elective anthropology courses. This major requires a minor.
