Anthropology |
| |
Anthropology is defined as the study of humankind. As a discipline, anthropology is concerned with all facets of human existence including social behavior, biological evolution, prehistory, language, personality, technology, religion, and illness to name just a few. Because of its broad nature, anthropology is subdivided into four major subfields: cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics.
The anthropology curriculum at UL Lafayette offers a total of 19 courses (57 semester hours in anthropology, representing the areas of physical anthropology, archaeology, and cultural anthropology). The first B.A. degree in anthropology was offered in 1981. In order to obtain this degree, students must take 30 hours in anthropology and must also earn an 18 hour "minor" in another field (such as geology, sociology, psychology, or biology) which is in some way related to anthropology or the student's career interest. The anthropology curriculum also requires courses in such areas as math, English, foreign language, history, computer science, and statistics. However, students are also given the opportunity to explore other areas by taking "directed" and general electives. In "directed" electives, students are asked to select a course within a specified area such as "history" or "arts/humanities." In "general" electives, students may select any course, as long as they have the anthropology advisor's approval |
