Students who wish to start exploring our department are welcome to start with almost any course in our department. Pathways through our major are diverse and tailored to the particular interests and needs of our students.
All our courses at levels 100 and 200 are well suited for students with little or no background in Anthropology or Sociology. Many of our 300 level courses have no prerequisites and may also be suitable for students who have never taken a course in Anthropology or Sociology before, though most 300 level courses tend to be more specialized, have heavier workloads, and/or have more students with more background knowledge of the topic of the course (even if they have no background in Anthropology or Sociology per se) than 100 and 200 level courses.
