University Studies requires a student to obtain proficiency through the 201-level (equivalent to foreign language 211 at NCCCs) in a language previously studied or the 102-level (equivalent to foreign language 112 at NCCCs) in a second foreign language not previously studied. Students will demonstrate proficiency by completing a course at the 201 level or higher in a language previously studied or at the 102-level in a second foreign language. If you graduated high school 7 or more years before you enrolled at UNCW, an exception applies to you. Then you only need to complete a language course at the 102 level (or higher)
Students are encouraged to build the North Carolina Community College (NCCC) course recommendations below into the associate degree to best prepare for the intended university and major.

The University of North Carolina Wilmington strongly recommends students complete their Associates’ degree prior to transferring to UNCW.
Our curriculum includes a wide range of coursework at all levels, varying from human evolution to the collapse of ancient civilizations to contemporary social issues. It includes such courses as Culture & Gender, Archaeology of the Americas, Human Orgins, Medical Anthropology, Historical Archaeology, Human Biological Variation, Forensic Anthropology, and Environmental Anthropology.
Experiential learning opportunities include archaeological field schools, lab courses in archaeology and osteology, and a practical internship program placing students at most of the museums in the Wilmington area. Advanced students can assist faculty members in original research.
Our department also hosts an Anthropology Club and a chapter in Lambda Alpha Honors Society. We nurture an active community of student scholars who share a love of all things anthropology.
Students contemplating a professional career in anthropology are urged to study a foreign language and acquire basic skills in computer science and statistics. Anthropology advisors may recommend additional courses in the sciences, humanities, or mathematics commensurate with individual career plans.
A “C” (2.00) grade point average or better is required among all courses used to satisfy the anthropology major and a “C” grade or better is required in each required anthropology course counted toward the major. *ANT 449 can only be counted towards one of the subfields: Archaeology, Biological/Physical or Cultural.
