Majors at Columbia

<p>Someone told me that the anthro major in Columbia was done differently than most universities. How do they do the anthro major at Columbia?</p>

<p>This page has pretty much all the relevant information on the structure of the anthropology major at Columbia. As you can see, it is tracked into four general areas: Sociocultural anthropology, archaeology, biological/physical anthropology, and general anthropology (a combination of the previous three). Scroll down to see sample tracks and requirements.</p>

<p>Also, the bio/physics track, which is offered as only a concentration (minor) in the Anthropology department, is supplemented by a full major or concentration in Evoltionary Biology of the Human Species, which is offered by the department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology. You can read about those requirements here:</p>

<p>So there is a track in biological seperate of evolutionary biology?</p>

<p>There’s a Department of Biology, and then there’s a totally separate Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology (also known as E3B). Within E3B, there are various tracks, including Ecology, Environmental Biology, and Evolutionary Biology of the Human Species. This last track, Evolutionary Biology of the Human Species, is the same thing as the Biological/Physical Anthropology.</p>
