Course Objectives
This seminar provides an integrative experience for graduating anthropology majors through the examination of various topics from a four-field, holistic anthropological approach. Students are expected to draw on what they have learned as they have pursued their undergraduate course of study in the major. Faculty members from the four major subfields will make presentations and lead discussions which involve the students as active participants. The seminar also provides a forum for students and faculty to evaluate the breadth, depth, and effectiveness of the anthropology curriculum.
