Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology

The Anthropology Program seeks to provide a greater understanding of humankind from a holistic perspective. To account for the complexity of humankind anthropologists focus on: Cultural adaptations and diversity in the past (archaeology), Socio-cultural institutions and symbolic constructs in a cross-cultural perspective (socio-cultural anthropology), The origin, nature, and uses of human language (linguistics), and Human biological evolution and variation (physical anthropology). Anthropology utilizes theories and methods from the natural and social sciences, as well as the humanities, to examine humankind. The program is strongly committed to excellence in undergraduate education and faculty scholarship achievements. Anthropology helps prepare students to actively apply their knowledge and skills to the challenges of living in an increasingly interconnected, diverse global society by exposing them to a systematic, scientific, and humanistic understanding of people and their cultures, including their own.
