Anthropology
I’m currently a psychology major with a year left. I changed my major many times on my way their, but am luckily only graduating a year behind where I should have. At the beginning of last semester I was introduced to anthropology and absolutely fell in love. But I knew it was too late to change majors or transfer to another school. And I actually enjoy psychology and think that it would be a good addition to anthropology, a different perspective if you will. While my school offers a minor in sociology/anthropology, it doesn’t actually offer classes in that subject (very stupid imo),but I was able to take one independent study class from another college as well as some online sociology classes. I need one more class and I’ll be able to get that minor.
My concern while looking through grad schools is that many of them want you to have a degree in anthropology or more classes than I have taken to get in. There are some that say if you’re lacking in areas, classes can be taken to make up the material and I’m wondering how long that would set me back. I also know that anthropology programs are hard to get into, many of the schools only accepting a few people per year. I was wondering if my chances of getting accepted, even to schools that say “a B.A. in anthropology is not specifically required,” would be drastically hurt by my not having that much experience.
