Anthropology

About

Study People and Cultures

As an anthropology major, you will learn a comprehensive approach to understanding people and the societies and cultures they create, the many ways of being human, and the many ways to solve the problems humanity faces.

Study of Humans

Anthropology is the study of humans. It is a broad and unique field that examines humankind both scientifically and humanistically.

Anthropology looks at the human experience from a holistic, cross-cultural perspective and encompasses the four subfields of the discipline: cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, archaeology and linguistic anthropology.

Appreciate how each of these subfields contribute to anthropology's unique approach to the study of humans

Conduct research on topics in sociocultural anthropology, ethnography, biological anthropology, human evolution, archaeology, forensic anthropology, medical anthropology, anthropology of religion and politics, gender and women's issues, and many, many more
