Anthropology Major & Minor
Anthropology is the only discipline that can access evidence about the entire human experience on this planet.
- Michael Brian Schiffer
Anthropology graduates have the knowledge to understand the complexities of human behavior in the past and present and the practical skills to conduct rigorous research into the environmental and social forces that influence human cultural development across the globe.
Through courses in the subfields of sociocultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and biological anthropology, students are exposed to multiple perspectives for solving theoretical and practical issues.
