The Department of Anthropology offers graduate and undergraduate course work in four subdisciplines: cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, archaeology, and linguistic anthropology, as well as specialized training for field research. Special programs in museum studies, cultural resource management, and forensic anthropology draw upon the extensive resources of the Arizona State Museum. The Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology is a center for applied anthropological research in the American Southwest and similar multicultural and ecological settings elsewhere in the world. The department cooperates with the Arizona Health Sciences Center in offering a program in medical anthropology. The degrees offered by the department are the Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy with a major in anthropology. The major for the B.A. requires a minimum of 36 units of anthropology, 18 of which must be in upper-division courses. All majors must take 101, 102, 200, 235, 265, and 276, which provide the student with basic training in all four subdisciplines. The student may then select one of three programs: (1) a general program which requires one upper-division course in each of the four subdisciplines plus two additional upper-division courses (a minimum of six courses); (2) a special program which requires three upper-division courses in each of two subdisciplines (a minimum of six courses); or (3) a topical or areal specialization approved by the undergraduate advisor (a minimum of six upper- division courses). The supporting minor may be chosen from any department or program within the University. The department participates in the Honors Program. 101.
