Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and Human Biology
Emory University Department of Anthropology
The Bachelor of Science in Anthropology & Human Biology provides a strong foundaon for understand-
ing behavior, biology, and health through an anthropological lens. Pulling from the sub-disciplines of ar-
cheology and biological anthropology, the BS major oers both an alternave path to the pre-medical
curriculum and an interdisciplinary approach to research.
The Department of Anthropology believes that a holisc understanding of what it means to be human is
crical for future physicians and sciensts. The BS major oers valuable benets to undergraduate stu-
dents interested in pursuing pre-medical studies or other STEM careers: a deep understanding of human
biology and evoluon, interdisciplinary approaches and research skills, and humanisc perspecves.
Statement of Requirements
A Bachelor of Science degree in Anthropology requires a minimum of 10 Anthropology courses of at least
3 credits each (30+ credit hours) and 5 Foundaon courses (23+ credit hours), with a minimum of a C av-
erage in the major. A maximum combined total of 8 hours of ANT 397R (Directed Readings), ANT 495
(Honors), and ANT 497R (Undergraduate Research) may be applied to the major. Only one 100-level class
may be taken to fulll the elecve requirements. No courses taken using the S/U opon may be applied
to the major. A maximum of 12 credit hours earned o the Emory campus may be applied toward the
major. A maximum of 2 courses may double-count for both the Anthropology and Human Biology BS and
another major or minor (this limit does not apply to foundaon courses earned outside the department).
Note: Peons for course substuons and excepons will be considered by the Anthropology Under-
graduate Concerns Commiee. A.P./Transfer credit for math, science, and stascs foundaons is ac-
cepted if it has already been approved by the appropriate department and appears on the transcript.
See reverse side of form for required courses.
