Bachelor of Science in Anthropology

MIT's Anthropology Program introduces students to intensive studies in such areas as environmental politics and social dimensions of climate change, class and economic inequality, food studies, medical anthropology, cultures of science and technology, gender, sexuality, race, and family, and migration and nationalism. Majors learn about the concept of culture and the processes by which humans make meaningful transactions, the nature of ethnographic fieldwork, and the connections between anthropology and the other social sciences. Majors study the theories explaining human behavior as well as the range of methods anthropologists use to analyze empirical data. Students can focus on particular geographical areas, including Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, or North America, and on such issues as immigration, multiculturalism, environmental justice, medicine, globalization, religion, social media, cultures of computing, or food cultures.

The anthropology student comes to understand that the hallmark of the discipline is the comparative study of human societies. Emphasis is on understanding diversity and the importance of the concept of culture in explaining that variety, as well as on learning about the universals of behavior that may underlie diversity.

The first-year application is intended for students who have concluded their secondary education and wish to pursue a bachelor's degree as a full-time university student.
We require an official transcript sent by a school counselor or representative.
