SAS Curriculum Changes
Approved at the SAS Faculty, December 14, 2006
Anthropology (070)
• Change in Major
Existing Anthropology BA becomes one of two BA tracks, with the other being the new Cultural
Anthropology. The BS in Evolutionary Anthropology remains as the other option.
Proposed Catalog copy revision:
The BA track in Anthropology trains students in the discipline’s four traditional subfields:
cultural, biological, and linguistic anthropology and archaeology, providing them with a holistic
understanding of humans as biological, cultural, and linguistics beings, both in the present and
the past. This track is intended for students who seek a comprehensive understanding of human
cultural and physical diversity within a broad social, historical, and evolutionary framework.
Requirements for Anthropology Track
Total number of required credits: 40 credits, of which at least 18 are at the 300 or 400
level.
Each of the following is required – 16 credits
01:070:101
Introduction to Cultural Anthropology
01:070:102
Introduction to Human Evolution
01:070:105
Introduction to Archaeology
01:070:108
Introduction to Linguistic Anthropology
In addition, one 300- or 400-level course is required in each of anthropology’s sub-fields:
cultural, linguistic, biological anthropology, and archaeology. The subdisciplines to which
upper division courses belong can be identified by their prerequisites. In the junior or senior
year, one 400-level course is required. Honors in Anthropology can be used toward this
requirement. Credit may be given for courses in other departments if approved.
Proposed Catalog copy for new track:
The Cultural Anthropology Track is intended for students interested in current social, cultural,
and political issues, especially in understanding the relationship of global processes to new
cultural forms and social inequalities. Students learn how cultural theory is integrated with
empirical ethnographic research and how to balance in-depth knowledge of particular geographic
regions (e.g., Africa, Asia, Latin American, and the United States) with knowledge of worldwide
interconnections.
Requirements for Cultural Anthropology Track
Total number of required credits: 38 credits, of which at least 18 are at the 300 or 400
level.

The BS degree in evolutionary anthropology is designed for students who plan to go to graduate
school in archaeology, biological anthropology, paleoanthropology, geoarchaeology, or other
related fields in human evolutionary studies (e.g., skeletal biology, forensic science,
primatology). This option prepares students with a multidisciplinary, science-oriented
background for careers in the field of evolutionary anthropology. This degree is also useful and
desirable for careers in the medical sciences.

Minor Program
A wide range of course work in criminology, criminal justice, deviant behavior, abnormal
psychology, and the legal system is offered at Rutgers. Students may take advantage of these
opportunities by enrolling in an interdisciplinary Minor in Criminology. In addition to course
work in Psychology and Sociology, students have the opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge of
the criminal justice system through courses offered by the Program in Criminal Justice. These
courses, along with field work and research opportunities, provide well-rounded training in
Criminology within a broader liberal arts education. This training equips students for careers in
the criminal justice system, for law school, and for graduate work in disciplines that study
various aspects of crime and the criminal justice system.
The interdisciplinary minor in criminology consists of eight courses (24 credits).
Six courses are required:
Introduction to Criminal Justice
Introduction to Psychology
Abnormal Psychology
Introduction to Sociology
Criminology

Rutgers University has a rich body of courses that are fundamental to leadership instruction. The
minor in organizational leadership gathers these courses into a curriculum that prepares students
to assume a leadership role in an organization.
Program Goals
Students who minor in organizational leadership may pursue any major field of study. For its
theoretical segments, the minor draws from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences; from departments
in the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick; and the School of
Communication, Information and Library Studies. For its practical components, the minor
utilizes the Office of Career Services and Rutgers student organizations. All aspects of the minor
concentrate on cultivating and enhancing organizational leadership skills.
The theory courses focus on formulating an ethically responsible vision that promotes
organizational excellence: understanding change, how it occurs, when it is needed, and how it
affects a group; and persuading individuals and groups to work toward a common goal. Course
work is supplemented by a series of extracurricular programs that provide an opportunity for
students to meet with their cohorts and to apply their knowledge of organizational leadership.
The extracurricular component functions much like a laboratory in the physical sciences.
Requirements
The minor in organizational leadership consists of 20 credits (9 of which must be at the 300 level
or above) divided into two foundation courses, three theory courses, and two applications
courses. Students must earn a grade of C or better to receive credit.
