Program Overview

The Department of Anthropology at CSULB is a vibrant, four-field department offering courses and research opportunities in Cultural Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, Biological Anthropology and Archaeology.  Students who choose Anthropology as their major will engage in one of the most exciting, engaging and impactful disciplines in all of academia.  As a holistic discipline focused on human evolution, culture, language and (pre)history, Anthropology gives students the tools they need to understand and interact with an increasingly globalized and complex world.

Our current historical moment is a uniquely challenging one in which a global pandemic and its associated economic disruptions poses a myriad of difficulties for people around the world.  At the same time, the US’ awakening to the continuing impact of socio-economic and racial inequalities asks the question of what individuals and communities can do to resolve the centuries-old structures that America was built upon. Various courses in our department address these issues head-on, featuring community-based ethnographic studies that are grounded in cutting-edge, inclusive theoretical perspectives.

Anthropology may not have all of the answers to the challenges we face in our most interesting of times, but it can provide the tools that students need to understand them.  These tools are a first important step in establishing long-lasting, substantial solutions in a rapidly changing world.  Please feel free to contact us for further information. We look forward to meeting you and talking to you about anthropology.
