Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology

Anthropology is the study of humans. You will integrate science, social science, and humanities perspectives to understand what it means to be human. Because individuals and societies are complex and dynamic, anthropology covers evolutionary origins, material artifacts, socio-cultural practices, language, worldviews, and cultural change over time. Our curriculum is designed to foster student curiosity in the field, with over 30 upper level courses so that students can dive deep into their own interests in topics like artifact management, medicine, narrative, politics, primate behavior, and religion, or into world regions like Latin America, Native America, South Asia or the Middle East. Students also gain holistic training in the discipline with core courses that include labs to build skills in each of anthropology's four sub-fields: archaeology, socio-cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and linguistic anthropology.

Over half of all Miami's Anthropology majors do postgraduate work in fields such as anthropology, zoology, history, public health, law, and medicine. Anthropology graduates have also gone into a variety of careers, from business to public service, from medicine, law, and teaching to the fine arts.
