Department: Anthropology

Anthropology is the study of human beings and humankind in the broadest sense. Anthropologists study present and past human cultures and societies, human and non-human primate biology and evolution, and language in social contexts. A major or minor in anthropology provides the necessary preparation for a variety of careers, including education, international studies, medicine and allied professions, social work, corporate consulting, market research, museum work, community organizing, academia, and many more. Students may focus mainly in one of the anthropological subfields – cultural, biological, archaeological, or linguistic anthropology – or they may follow a more general program of study that includes all four subfields.
