5. Other information:
1. Pass/Fail: Two half-courses may be taken Pass/Fail and counted for concentration credit. These ordinarily include courses from the reading and related courses category. All anthropology tutorials are letter-graded.
2. Languages: The department itself has no language requirement. However, the importance of modern languages for research in all branches of anthropology cannot be too highly stressed. Concentrators who expect to do work in anthropology beyond the AB degree are most strongly urged to develop their language skills as undergraduates.
3. Statistics: Competence in handling quantitative data is extremely important in anthropological research, and such competence is best obtained through formal training in statistics.
