Anthropology/Sociology majors with a 3.5 minimum GPA may submit a proposal as juniors, engage in independent research and fieldwork, and write a substantial paper which will be presented to the department or campus community. See department for guidelines and application. Honors students will enroll in HON-499 Departmental Honors - Anthropology/Sociology.
