Directed studies
Directed Studies courses can be taken in any term and are normally open only to Major students in Anthropology.
The supervisor and the student need to fill out the pro-forma form and return it to the Anthropology Undergraduate Secretary in Cornett B228 (or via email).
Before you enrol in a Directed Studies course, you should have exhausted the possibilities of regular course offerings within the general area of the proposed Directed Studies.
For more details see Individually Supervised Courses section in UVic's Calendar.
GPA requirement
Students taking Directed Studies should have a minimum GPA in upper level Anthropology courses of 6.5 and a minimum overall cumulative GPA of 5.5.
