ANTH V2004 ?Introduction to Social and Cultural Theory,? and ANTH V2005 ?The Ethnographic Imagination?) or courses offered in other departments taught by members of the Department of Anthropology , and two ?related courses? from outside of the department for an additional 6 points.At least two of the courses in this broad mix of courses (inside and outside of Anthropology) should focus on a particular culture, nation, or literature.The spirit of sociocultural anthropology at Columbia is genuinely interdisciplinary.
