Anthropology is concerned with the biological and cultural development and functioning of humans worldwide, past and present. After the initial introduction to anthropology’s four sub-fields of biological/physical anthropology, archaeology, anthropological linguistics, and sociocultural anthropology, the program of study focuses largely on the social and cultural aspects of humans in the contemporary world, and allows students, under advisement, to steer their own topical interests with set interdisciplinary options.
All students, especially those interested in graduate study, are urged to complete courses in a foreign language through the intermediate level.
