| 2 | To avoid taking additional units, it is recommended that you meet SF State Studies (AERM, GP, ES, SJ) and Ethnic Studies requirements within your GE or major. |
| 3 | Depending on courses completed through Early Start, students in Pathway/Category III or IV may be required to enroll in a support course to complement their Quantitative Reasoning/B4 requirement. There are multiple course options for this pathway. Before enrolling in a B4 course, students should verify their MATH Pathway/Category in their Student Center. Information regarding the courses that correspond with your MATH Pathway/Category can be found on the Developmental Studies Office Website. |
| 4 | Complementary Studies Other options for complementary studies are:
Related disciplines typically include courses in the College of Ethnic Studies, Classics, Geology, Geography, Sexuality Studies, Sociology, History, Language Studies, and Women and Gender Studies. Up to six units may be double-counted towards the fulfillment of the University-Wide elective units for the major. Units may be upper-division, lower-division, transfer, or resident units. |
| 5 | Anthropology Subfields At least one upper-division course (Area 1, Area 2, or electives) must be taken in each of the three subfields: biological, cultural/visual, and archaeology. No more than 6 units can be taken in internships (ANTH 695), independent study (ANTH 699), and teaching (ANTH 685) combined. If an Anthropology course is not listed below, consult an advisor to determine the subfield. Biological Anthropology ANTH 302 Foundations of Human Variation (3 units) (UD-B) Cultural Anthropology ANTH 303 Foundations of Visual Anthropology (3 units) Archaeology ANTH 301 Foundations of Archaeology (3 units) |
| 6 | Upper-division units selected from any courses with the ANTH prefix including those from the two areas that have not been used to fulfill the area requirements. Students may choose six units from Area 2 and reduce the number of anthropology electives to 13 units. |
| 7 | Area 2: Methods and Practicum |
