Anthropology Department Criteria for Cross-Listing Courses

Faculty, programs, or departments interested in cross-listing a course with the Anthropology Department should:

Submit a course syllabus (or minimally, a course description) of the most recently taught version of the course.
State the projected block the course will be taught during the upcoming academic year or summer.
Describe how the course meets each criterion for an Anthropology course:
1. centers humans (or, in the occasional case, other primates), whether as producers of language, material culture, meaning, social structures, in multi-species relations, or as biocultural animals.
2. situates human activity comparatively, across known cultures, biological variations, varied ecosystems, or through time. This applies even when zeroing in on a specific region or aspect.
3. makes meaningful connections with the body of knowledge and theory of one or more of the following subfields:
  - Archaeological: i.e. past human life ways, material culture, spatial analysis;
  - Biological: i.e. human & primate evolution, adaptation, variation;
  - Cultural: i.e. relativism, holism, folklore, social structures;
  - Linguistic: i.e. language and culture, discourse, sociolinguistics.

Requests for new and renewing cross-listings should be submitted each year no later than Block 4.

Departmental approval is the final criterion necessary to implement the cross-listing.

Regardless of the level at which courses are taught in sponsoring departments or programs, Anthropology does not cross-list above the 200-level.
