The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Anthropology introduces students to anthropology with offerings in three of the subfields of the discipline: archaeology, biological anthropology, and cultural anthropology. Our program focuses on the interrelationships among the cultural, social, and biological bases of human behavior in evolutionary and contemporary contexts. The degree emphasizes exposure to different cultures through classic ethnography and a better understanding of the past through archaeology and human skeletal analysis.
-
Anthropology majors are encouraged to take an international perspective as we examine diverse cultures and areas of the world
-
Students can join the Anthropology Club, a student organization open to all majors that provides students opportunities to pursue their interest in anthropology through collaboration with professors, peers, and guest speakers.
-
Theory and methods are a requirement of the program
