Career

Possible Career Options

No matter what field anthropologist majors go into, employers want employees who can problem-solve and see challenges from different angles. Employers are looking for a range of skills-critical thinking, information management, adaptability, flexibility, ability to learn quickly and effectively, and good writing skills-which anthropology majors gain in our program. Some careers require a graduate degree, and the critical reading, writing, and thinking skills emphasized in your anthropology classes are great preparation for graduate programs in law, public policy, medicine, counseling, education, public health, anthropology, and disaster studies, to name a few. Graduates with an anthropology degree are well-suited for a career in a wide variety of fields such as education, health care, museums, research (various fields), communications, international development, government (federal, state, and local), human services, non-profit organization management, business and industry, publishing, and cultural resource management.
