Honors Requirements
A student who wishes to graduate with honors in anthropology must achieve a minimum grade point average of 10.5 in the major, earn a grade of A or A- on a thesis, and orally defend the thesis before a faculty honors committee. The student will be expected to produce a more substantial thesis than those not working on honors. A student may elect to attempt honors in anthropology by the end of fall semester of the senior year in consultation with the first reader, who must be an anthropologist at Scripps. The student and the first reader will then form a faculty honors committee, which should include two additional readers selected from faculty at any of the Claremont Colleges. |
