ANTHROPOLOGY MAJOR/ MINOR

       Students thinking about majoring or minoring in any branch of anthropology are strongly encouraged to do so as soon as possible.  Information on the major and minor is available in the undergraduate Bulletin and on the Department Web page.  Inquiries may be directed to the Instructor or to the department office (Anspach 144; phone 774-3160).  Those with strong interest in a particular branch of Anthropology may wish to direct their inquiries as follows:

CONTENTS

MUSEUM RESOURCES

     The Museum of Cultural and Natural History is located in Rowe Hall in the northeast corner of campus, on Bellows near Mission. It is on the ground floor, in the north half of the building. Museum hours are normally 8-12 and 1-5, M-F. In addition, two highly relevant display cases on loan from the Museum are situated on the first floor of Anspach Hall opposite AN 162.  For years the Museum has been a valuable CMU resource, especially for ANT 175 students. Students should try to visit the Museum at least once early in the semester and wander through the exhibits to learn what is available and how it might relate to course material. Many students who major or minor in anthropology also choose to take a minor in Museum Studies. Inquiries about this and other programs should be directed to the Museum office, Rowe 103 (774-3829). 

     There is an ANT 175 Museum Essay option available, as described below.

CONTENTS

ANT 175 BIBLIOGRAPHY

     Students seeking additional readings may wish to consult any of the introductory, general-interest texts kept on reserve for ANT 175 in the CMU Library, 3rd floor (see link above).  A somewhat more extensive list of sources is found below.  These are not required for class!  NOTE (Fall 2010):  this bibliography is no longer being updated on the ANT 175 website.  A periodically updated and more extensive version is available on Blackboard to students currently registered in the course.
