This joint program offers the student numerous ways to understand how religion works as a dynamic aspect of culture, and how individuals interact with their social environments to create systems of belief and ritual in their efforts to make sense of the world.

Six courses in religion and six courses in anthropology are required with a grade of C or higher, as specified below. Those twelve courses must include Anthropology of Religion (taken either as CAS AN 384 or as CAS RN 387). Candidates for the B.A. with this joint concentration may not pursue a second concentration in religion or anthropology. They are, however, encouraged to take courses beyond the required twelve in either or both disciplines. Qualified seniors should consider Independent Work for Distinction, either AN 401/402 or RN 401/402. To ensure the most suitable course of study for the prospective student's areas of interest, courses should be selected in consultation with Professor Frank Korom, the program advisor. For further information about the joint program, contact the program advisor or either department chairman.

In anthropology: CAS AN101 Introduction to Cultural Anthropology; CAS AN 252 Ethnicity and Identity; CAS AN 384/RN 387 Anthropology of Religion; CAS AN 461 Ethnography and Anthropological Theory I; and two social anthropology courses at the 300 level or above from among CAS AN 312, 317, 321, 326, 355, 371, 372, 375, 379, 438, 515, 568, 570, 593, and 594.

In religion: CAS RN 103 Religions of the World: Eastern or CAS RN 104 Religions of the World: Western; one course at the 200 level (CAS RN 210-216, 222, or 250); CAS RN 495 and CAS RN 496 (counts as one course); and three additional courses at the 300 level or above, including at least two from among CAS RN 312, 313, 375, 388, 414, 415, 422, 442, 460, 461, and 468.
