Department Writing Requirement


Most students will meet the department writing requirement by successfully passing ANTH 316 . Should the instructor in ANTH 316  judge that the student’s writing skills are not acceptable, even though the student may be passing the course, he/she will be required to enroll in and successfully complete a course that emphasizes writing skills. (It could be a regularly scheduled course or a directed study course.) Students are encouraged to complete or attempt to complete the writing requirement by the end of their Junior year.
