The undergraduate major in general anthropology (as distinguished from the Human Biology and the Visual Anthropology Tracks) is intended to give students a foundation in all of the 4 subfields associated with the discipline of anthropology: Cult ural Anthropology, Archaeology, Biological Anthropology and Linguistic Anthropology). Each of the subfields requires the development of a number of skills including formulating hypotheses, developing research programs and proposals, applying theories to the interpretation of data, including artifacts, and gathering ethnographic information through participant-observation.

With its focus on human diversity and its emphasis on cultural relativism, anthropology prepares students well for the issues they are likely to encounter in today's workplaces. At Temple, we offer a number of courses on such topics as the Anthropolog y of Policy, Medical Anthropology and Urban Anthropology, which prepare students for careers in: public administration, social work, health policy, urban planning and other aspects of public policy-related work, in addition to professional careers in fiel ds such as business, law and medicine. Anthropology students are also well-prepared to participate in activities which call for cultural sensitivity and an understanding of cultural differences such as the teaching of English as a foreign language and ot her work with immigrant communities or work in the global marketplace.

One introductory course from the following:

Anthropology

R060 Introduction to Anthropology
C061 Cultures of the World
H091 Cultures of the World
C064 American Culture
C065 Origins of Cultural Diversity

Four fundamentals courses (introductions to the four subfields):

Anthropology

W120 Fundamentals of Cultural Anthropology
0124 Fundamentals of Archaeology
0125 Fundamentals of Biological Anthropology
0127 Fundamentals of Linguistic Anthropology

One methods course, to be chosen from the following nine courses:

Anthropology

Five elective courses to be chosen from all the other 100-level, 200-level, and 300-level Anthropology courses. Note: One 300-level Methods course is required; others may be taken as electives.

Minor Requirements

The minor in Anthropology consists of 18 credits.

One introductory course from the following:

Anthropology
W120 Fundamentals of Cultural Anthropology
0124 Fundamentals of Archaeology
0125 Fundamentals of Biological Anthropology
0127 Fundamentals of Linguistic Anthropology

Three additional Anthropology electives at the 0100 level or above.

Students preparing for medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, optometry, and podiatry sometimes find the traditional science majors too restrictive. In addition to taking the required science courses, they would like to develop the well-rounded liberal arts background for which many health-related professional schools look. This program, like those at Stanford, Michigan, and Harvard, allows students to pursue interests in human population biology, biologically-related courses in psychology, sociology, history, and political science.

Students will officially major in anthropology, but, instead of the normal anthropology program, in addition to those science courses required for admission to medical/dental/optometry/podiatry school, human biology students will be required to take fi ve courses in biological anthropology, four courses in biology, two electives, and one course in cultural anthropology.

Interested students should contact the pre-med adviser at Sullivan Hall or the Anthropology Advising Coordinator.

**Only for students admitted into Temple PT in the senior year.

This track allows students to combine the intellectual pursuits of cultural anthropology and visual communication, and to obtain a well-rounded liberal arts background. This course of study enables students to pursue the broad interests articulated abo ve with the study of the theory and practice of ethnographic film and to gain a fuller understanding of the world's varied systems of visual representation.

Students will officially major in anthropology, and will be required to take 12 anthropology courses, six at the beginning level, three at the middle, and three at the advanced level that are appropriate for their concentration. In addition, students c an take courses in the departments of Broadcasting, Telecommunications, and Mass Media (BTMM), Communication Sciences, Film and Media Arts (FMA), and Speech Communications in the School of Communications and Theater, depending on classroom space availab ility; and English.

Interested students should contact the Anthropology Advising Coordinator.

There are 12 courses (36 s.h.) required - minimum of eight upper level courses. Distribution as follows:

Asian Studies draws on the resources of several departments to provide a comprehensive program of study on Asia (especially east Asia). Majors may concentrate on a selected geographic area or subject matter. By combining language with the study of poli tics, history, society, art, religion and philosophy, and literature, each student can construct a major suited to individual interests. Temple's campus in Japan can provide students a live-abroad experience while taking their course work.

Majors must complete 30 semester hours, six of which must come from the Asian Studies Core (0115, 0116, C086, C084, or an equivalent as approved by adviser). In addition, students must take W300, the capstone writing course in the major. The remaining 21 semester hours may be chosen from an extensive list which is revised annually. Courses must be selected with a coherent geographical and/or subject-matter focus, including courses from at least three disciplines. In addition, majors must complete the f ourth semester of Chinese or Japanese (or another Asian language approved by the adviser). The language requirement may also be satisfied by examination.

Minors must complete 18 semester hours, six of which must come from the Asian Studies Core (0115, 0116, C086, C084, or an equivalent as approved by adviser). The remaining 12 semester hours shall be selected in consultation with the Asian Studies advis er from the same list as used in the major. In addition, minors must complete the second semester of Chinese or Japanese (or another Asian language approved by the adviser). The language requirement may also be satisfied by examination.

Asian Studies majors may graduate with distinction in the major if they have a GPA of at least 3.5 in the major and a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.

The Center for Critical Languages offers courses in several of the less commonly taught languages, principally, though not exclusively, of the Afro-Asian and East European regions (e.g., Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Modern Greek). These co urses are open to students in any major at Temple.

The Schedule of Classes should be consulted for a complete listing of Critical Languages courses and levels of instruction offered each semester.

The Center for Critical Languages offers certificate programs in Japanese and Chinese, and an undergraduate "minor" in Japanese. However, the Center does not offer a major in any foreign language area. Its language programs are offered in va rious instructional formats for four hours of undergraduate credit at the elementary level, and three hours at more advanced levels.

The programs in languages other than Chinese and Japanese normally consist of a six semester sequence of course work stressing the spoken and written forms of the language. The Japanese and Chinese programs are much more extensive. Certa in Critical Language programs do not offer extensive linguistic study, except to the extent that textual materials include pertinent grammatical explanations of language structures.

Critical Languages courses are somewhat more difficult (or more demanding of time and energy) than a course in a Western European language. Each student in the Critical Languages Program must work on a daily basis with prerecorded materials (audio and/ or video) corresponding to the textual materials for the course.

Students should expect to spend a minimum of 10-12 hours per week throughout the semester in language study at home (working with texts and tapes) or in the Educational Technology Center, in addition to the hours each week devoted to the class sessions . Students unable to make a long-term commitment to rigorous and disciplined daily language study are not encouraged to register for Critical Languages courses.

Participation in regular tutorial sessions (in small groups with a native speaker), normally two or three hours per week, is expected for languages other than Chinese and Japanese (which meet four times per week). Those drill sessions listed as "arranged" in the Directory of Classes will not be scheduled until the first week of the semester, and each student must contact the Center's office for program orientation and tutorial session arrangements no later than the second day of the semester. At the end of the semester, an outside specialist will be responsible for evaluating each student's language skills, assessing oral and written proficiencies. Knowing the degree of proficiency that each student should have attained, the examiner will assign a seme ster grade for the course. Work in Chinese and Japanese is evaluated more frequently by the senior professor in those programs.

Most courses offered through the Critical Languages Center are evaluated by examiners of the National Association of Self-Instructional Language Programs.

The Chinese language curriculum offers a full 10 semester (five-year) sequence of courses, principally in the standard classroom mode of instruction.

The Specialization in Chinese consists of the following requirements:

• A minimum of 20 credit hours or six courses completed in Critical Languages Chinese courses with a minimum GPA of 2.8 in these courses.
• The Specialization in Chinese may be undertaken in conjunction with a baccalaureate degree program or by students who have already completed work toward a baccalaureate.
• A student who is an Asian Studies major may use Chinese Specialization courses to satisfy the Asian Studies foreign language requirement, but may not use the same courses to fulfill other Asian Studies requirements (as determined through consultation with the Asian Studies adviser).
• The Specialization in Chinese is administered through the Center for Critical Languages and will be attested to by a notation on the student's transcript. In addition, the director of Chinese language study will prepare a separate document describing the particular program of study which the student has completed, and the College of Liberal Arts will issue a document attesting to completion of Certificate requirements.

Students interested in this program should contact the Director of Chinese Language Studies, Room 347, Anderson Hall, (215) 204-8247.

The Japanese language curriculum offers a full 10-semester (five-year) sequence of courses, principally in the standard classroom mode of instruction.

The Specialization in Japanese consists of the following requirements:

• A minimum of 20 credit hours or six courses completed in Critical Languages Japanese courses with a minimum GPA of 2.8 in these courses.
• The Specialization in Japanese may be undertaken in conjunction with a baccalaureate degree program or by students who have already completed work toward a baccalaureate.
• A student who is an Asian Studies major may use Japanese Specialization courses to satisfy the Asian Studies foreign language requirement, but may not use the same courses to fulfill other Asian Studies requirements (as determined through consultation with the Asian Studies adviser).
• The Specialization in Japanese is administered through the Center for Critical Languages and will be attested to by a notation on the student's transcript. In addition, the director of Japanese language study will prepare a separate document describin g the particular program of study which the student has completed, and the College of Liberal Arts will issue a document attesting to completion of Certificate requirements.

Students interested in Japanese should contact the director of the Japanese language program, room 332 Anderson Hall, (215) 204-4492.

The First-Year Writing Program comprises English 0040, 0041, C050, C051, and R050. English 0040 is a four-credit course that focuses on writing within a single theme and disciplinary approach. English C050 is a three-credit course that takes a broader perspective, requiring students to explore a single theme from the point of view of at least two disciplines and meets the Core Composition requirement. English R050 is the same as C050 except that the readings focus on the study of race. R050 meets the Core Studies in Race requirement as well as the Core Composition requirement. English 0041 and C051 are courses designed to meet the needs of the ESL (English as a Second Language) learner, and the guidelines for English 0040 and English C050 are followed.

English 0040 and C050 form a year-long sequence to introduce students to academic discourse. Entering first-year students are either placed into the 0040-C050 sequence, in C050 only, or exempted from these courses entirely. Placement is based on a formula which takes into account the results of the placement exam, DTLS reading and writing scores, high school rank, and the SAT verbal score.

Until students have completed their English 0040/41 requirement, they may not enroll in English C050/51. English C050/51 is a prerequisite for Intellectual Heritage X051 and X052 and any upper level course in the College of Liberal Arts. English C050/51 or R050 may not be taken for credit by students who have successfully completed English H090.

Prerequisites: French 0051, 0052, 0061, 0062, with C work or equivalent placement. Nine courses including: French 0223-0224, three literature courses at the 0300-level and no more than two courses at the 0100 level.

A minor in French consists of a minimum of 18 credits: six courses above the level of French 0051, including at least two courses at the 0100 level and one course at the 0200 level.

Students who complete 20 s.h. in the following sequence in French are eligible for a special Foreign Language Certificate. The number of semester hours required may be reduced by equivalency or proficiency placement.

French 0051 - Elements I

The Department of Geography and Urban Studies offers a major in which students gain an understanding of this combined field by taking several basic required courses, supplemented by upper level electives in three categories: (1) theories/concepts of th e field; (2) issues/policies; and (3) skills/techniques useful to professionals working in this field.

Within these guidelines, it is possible for students to choose courses that focus chiefly on geographical studies, including the major distributions of physical and natural phenomena across the globe, environmental and man-environment relations, and th e concepts underlying spatial analysis and industrial location; or they may choose a program that emphasizes urban studies, exploring the social, political, economic, and historic aspects of urban life including international comparisons of urban society and the policies that governments have devised to address urban problems.

Students must take five electives in geography and urban studies, including at least one course from each of the following categories. At least two of the five must be advanced upper level (courses numbered 0200 or higher).

Each student is required to complete two courses in a cognate field. Normally, the student will choose one of the following: anthropology, history, political science, psychology, or sociology. It is possible, however, for students to develop, in consul tation with their adviser, a special cognate area designed specifically for their needs. Students are encouraged to explore offerings from a wide variety of sources to satisfy the cognate requirement, as the purpose of the cognate is to combine a set of r elated courses that, taken together, broaden the training achieved under the major. Majors have found that combinations of courses which include such diverse disciplines as medicine, environmental engineering, architecture, design, and information systems have yielded substantial benefits as cognate areas.

A minor is achieved by successfully completing six courses as follows:

one of either GUS C050, C052, or C060 or R055;
one of either GUS 0120, 0260, or 0282;
and any four additional upper level courses.

One of these courses may be replaced by

two 2 s.h. courses in urban affairs (GUS 0070-0079)
or one upper-division urban or geographically related course in a social science field other than the student's major.

The Department of Political Science offers a B.A. degree in a major designed to have two essential purposes. The first, reflected in the three required courses, is to expose the student to the principal intellectual concerns and subfields of the discip line. These include the subjects of American, comparative or international politics, and the distinctive intellectual orientations of political philosophy.

The second purpose of major requirements is then to allow students considerable flexibility to pursue subjects of their choice in more advanced courses in political science. Thus, in addition to the subfields named above, they may also take courses in public policy and administration and urban politics.

The requirement for the political science major is 10 courses or 30 s.h. in political science including four required courses: Political Science C051 (American Political System), Political Science C052 (Foreign Governments and Politics) or Political Sc ience C053 (International Politics), Political Science W101 (Political Philosophy) which fulfills the department's capstone writing requirement. The additional seven political science courses may be selected from any of the total political science offer ings numbered 0103 or above. Not more than two supervision-type courses may count toward the six elective courses, and these include P.S. 0371, 0372, 0373, 0382, 0383, and 0384.

Students can specialize in their programs by concentrating their course work in one of the following six areas: American politics, comparative politics, international politics, political theory, public policy and administration, and urban politics.

Students may earn a minor in political science by completing six s.h. of political science from C051, C052 or C053, W0101, and 12 s.h. of political science at the level of courses numbered 0103 or above.

The Honors Program in Political Science is open to departmental majors who exhibit particular promise in their field. The program enables majors to study in small, participatory seminars and to develop the analytic and research skills necessary for gra duate or professional school and for careers in political research. Offerings rotate among faculty members and consist of advanced topics in one of the major fields of political science (international relations, American politics, political theory, compar ative politics, and public policy).

Completion of the Distinction in Major Program involves taking two of the four honors seminars offered to juniors and seniors: PS 0291, 0292, 0391, and 0392. Listings of the specific seminar offerings and instructors for the next two years are availabl e during each spring priority registration. Prerequisites are a 3.2 cumulative average, a 3.3 average in political science, completion of two of the four required political science courses, and admission by the departmental Honors Coordinator. Students ma y apply to the Honors Coordinator for admission beginning the spring of their sophomore year (for the fall junior semester). While applications will be accepted as late as spring of the junior year (in order to take the two senior honors seminars), earlie r admission insures a wider choice of seminar offerings over the course of a student's junior and senior year in the program.

The purpose of the political economy program is to provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to study more intensely the relationship between the political and economic spheres of society. By completing the six course sequence outlined below, students graduate with a certificate in political economy. Students also must complete all the requirements of a standard major; if that major be political science or economics, the relevant courses within the political economy sequence may also satisfy major requirements. The program is based on the belief that a focused examination of this relationship provides us with a better understanding of several social phenomena; chief among these is a better understanding of public policy choices and the poli cymaking process, as well as a better understanding of how government actions affect the process of economic change.

For these reasons the political science and economics departments offer an interdisciplinary program leading to a B.A. degree with additional specialization in political economy. The program is open to all matriculated undergraduate students. Applicant s need not be declared majors in either economics or political science. The political economy program provides an excellent preparation for graduate study in the social sciences and for the study of law.

The political economy certificate consists of two components: required University Core courses at the lower-division level and elective courses at the upper-division level. In addition to taking the courses outlined below, graduating seniors receiving a certificate in political economy must also complete the requirements of a standard major (usually either political science or economics). Courses which satisfy the political economy requirement and also fulfill the student's major's requirements may c ount towards both.

C051 (or H091) Macroeconomic Principles
C052 (or H092) Microeconomic Principles

C053 Economic Principles
C051 (or H091) The American Political System

C052 (or H092) Foreign Governments and Politics
C053 (or H093) International Politics

Elective courses-all students must successfully complete (grade of C- or better) four courses from the following list. Two of the four courses must be in economics, and two courses must be in political science. Students should select courses that corre spond to their own substantive interests. Students should plan their schedules well in advance, since many courses are not offered each semester.

0220 Economics of Development and Growth
0235 American Economic History
0237 European Economic History
0246 Public Finance
0248 Economics of State and Local Government
0255 (or W255) The Economics of Energy
0262 (or W262) Health Economics
0265 Social Economics
0270 Economics of Labor Markets
0271 Labor Market Institutions and Policies
0272 Women in the Economy
0281 Government Regulation of Business
0285 Urban Economics

0135 Urban Politics and Problems
0141 The Politics of Inequality
0151 Public Policy Analysis
0152 Environmental Policy
0158 Business and Public Policy
0238 East Asia and the United States
0244 (or W244) Politics of Modern Capitalism
0261 Politics of Multinational Corporations
0273 Marxism and Politics
0276 Democracy, Capitalism, and Socialism

Political Science majors can graduate with both the bachelor's and master's degrees in five years. Students in their junior year may apply for admission to the M.A. program if they have a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA and 1100 on the GRE Verbal and Quanti tative Examinations. As seniors, they will take two graduate Core courses for undergraduate credit and complete their undergraduate requirements. This is followed by 24 s.h. of graduate courses and Comprehensive Examinations. Students should contact the G raduate Chair for admission procedures and current program information.
