Program Overview

Are you intrigued by scientific findings that give clues to human origins or evidence of earlier civilizations? Are you interested in understanding and investigating the problems and issues confronting societies around the globe? Do you believe that knowledge and appreciation of other peoples’ beliefs and ways of life is relevant to you and your future career? Do you seek a clearer understanding of, and perspective on, American society and culture? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then an academic major or minor in anthropology may be the program for you.

What Will I Learn?

The program includes two introductory courses normally taken in your first year: One methods-oriented course selected from physical anthropology, archaeology and linguistics, one cultural-area course, two dimensions of culture courses, a world issues course, an advanced writing course centered on ethnographic methods and a senior project or seminar.

Nine credits (three courses) are also aimed at the your career objectives and are chosen in consultation with your academic adviser. These courses may be additional anthropology courses or may be courses associated with a minor, another major, an internship, a study abroad experience or independent study projects.
