Program Description
Anthropology investigates what it means to be human through a holistic integration of the four anthropological sub-fields: cultural anthropology, archaeological anthropology, biological anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. Anthropology students seek to make a difference in a complex global world, through in-depth classroom, field, and laboratory experiences guided by active scholars in the discipline. Graduates apply the anthropological skill set in a variety of professional careers where cultural competency, the ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative data, and an appreciation for the interaction between biology and culture are required, including: healthcare, business, education, historic preservation, environmental and research professions. Anthropology graduates also are well-positioned to pursue graduate work in the discipline. Although not required, many Anthropology students pair their Anthropology major with a second major or minor.
