Anthropology, the study of humans, includes sociocultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and archaeology. Courses offered by the Department of Anthropology span the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities and provide a broad understanding of human nature and society for students in other fields and for anthropology majors.
The broad perspective on human culture and biology that anthropology offers can enhance studies in many other fields, including history, psychology, international studies, environmental studies, ecology and evolution, geography, earth system science, literature, political science, folklore and public culture, language study, art history, and public policy and management.

Undergraduate Studies
Preparation
High school students planning a major in anthropology should have a sound background in English, biological science, and mathematics (preferably algebra). Study in a modern second language is desirable.
Students transferring with two years of college work should have introductory course work in the social sciences. Introductory biology and the equivalent of two years of college-level study in a second language are recommended.
Careers
A bachelor’s degree in anthropology prepares the graduate for employment in areas where clear communication, analysis and synthesis, and respect for diversity are valued. Anthropology provides a suitable background for positions with federal, state, and local agencies and prepares the student for citizenship in a multicultural world.
Students seeking work as professional anthropologists should plan for advanced degrees in anthropology. Graduates with master’s or PhD degrees may find work in government, community colleges, or museums. For university teaching and research careers, a PhD degree is necessary.
Bachelor’s Degree Requirements
The department offers course work leading to bachelor of arts (BA) and bachelor of science (BS) degrees. Major requirements are the same for each. Differences between the two degrees are explained under Requirements for Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in the Bachelor's Degree Requirements section of this catalog.

The Anthropology Honors Program is designed for outstanding Anthropology majors interested in independent exploration of a special topic of their own choosing under the guidance of a faculty member.
Students should identify an area of research interest during their junior years or earlier, and approach members of the faculty with whom they want to work. It is best if a student can take a class taught by the faculty member during the junior year (at the latest). Some faculty members require students to take a course from them before allowing students to work in their laboratories.
Complete form with faculty advisor: Individualized Study Form
An honors thesis is expected to make a substantial and persuasive argument situated with in, and contributing to, current critical debates while demonstrating exceptional verbal clarity and sophistication.
If you intend to pursue honors in Anthropology you will need to notify the department via email, anthro@uoregon.edu, no later than the first term of your senior year.
Must meet all requirements:
- Maintains at least a 3.75 GPA in Anthropology coursework
- Maintain a cumulative 3.50 overall GPA

Graduate Studies
There are no absolute requirements for admission to the master’s degree program. A bachelor’s degree in anthropology is helpful but not required. Admission is limited and preference is given to applicants with excellent academic records and Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) scores who have had at least a solid beginning in anthropology, who have had some second-language training, and who can demonstrate evidence of a sincere interest in the field. It typically takes two years to complete the program.
Three advanced degrees are offered in anthropology: the master of arts (MA), the master of science (MS), and the doctor of philosophy (PhD). These degrees entail work in the following subfields: archaeology, cultural anthropology, or biological anthropology. Graduate students must demonstrate competence in these subfields, typically through work at the master’s level. A master's paper is required, but a thesis is not required. The MA requires competence in a second language. There is no language requirement for the MS, but the candidate for that degree must demonstrate proficiency in a skill such as statistics, computer science, or paleogeography, approved by the department faculty.
Graduate students become members of the Association of Anthropological Graduate Students and are represented in the Student Senate.

It typically takes two years to complete the program.
PhD Degree Requirements
Admission to the doctoral program is contingent on the possession of a valid master’s degree in anthropology from a recognized institution or on the completion of three of the master’s core courses. Those who enter with a master’s degree in another discipline take master’s core courses early in the program.
Formal requirements of time and credit are secondary, but no candidate is recommended for the degree until the minimum Graduate School requirements for credits, residence, and study have been satisfied.
The department requires competence in two modern second languages, one language and one skill, or two skills (including those earned for an MA or MS) approved by the department’s faculty. The student’s progress is measured by performance in the core courses and other course work; two comprehensive examinations covering two special fields of concentration in anthropology; a formal dissertation prospectus; and, finally, a doctoral dissertation. The dissertation should be based on original research, which ordinarily involves fieldwork or laboratory work, and should be written in a professional and publishable style appropriate to the subfield of specialization.
For information about general requirements, see the Graduate School section of this catalog. More information about programs in anthropology may be obtained from the department.
Museum of Natural and Cultural History
The Museum of Natural and Cultural History and its research division, the Oregon State Museum of Anthropology, provide opportunities for students to gain research experience through field projects and museum experience through the natural history museum’s public programs. The rich resources of the state museum’s collections are available to anthropology students, faculty members, and other qualified researchers. The Museum of Natural and Cultural History is described in the Academic Resources section of this catalog; the Oregon State Museum of Anthropology is described under Research Centers and Institutes.
