Note 1:
Students who have been enrolled in the Bioarchaeological Anthropology Major prior to 2016/17 and wish to continue with it but who still require ANTH 3301E should take ANTH 3350F and either ANTH 3308F/G or ANTH 3311F/G.

Note 2:
Students who are planning to do a Masters degree in Anthropology are encouraged to take Anthropology 4400E. The prerequisite is Anthropology 3350F and therefore should be taken in third year.  Previous years modules can be found in the 2016-17 Academic Calendar.
