Gain intellectual and practical skills for navigating our complex, global, 21st-century world through the transformative experience of studying what it means to be human.
Anthropology explores the study of humankind in all its dimensions, including biological, historical, and cultural perspectives. Students study biological and cultural anthropology and archaeology – in the classroom, lab, and field – with active researchers and world-class faculty.
Why Study Anthropology?
Anthropology is the holistic study of the human experience. What this means is that Anthropologists share an interest in all aspects of being human, both in today’s world and in the past. Our field exists at the intersection of the Humanities, the Social Sciences, and the Natural Sciences, and appeals to a diverse group of students who come to Anthropology from many different backgrounds with diverse life experiences and varied intellectual interests.
Anthropologists explore the…
Global diversity of human cultures,
History and prehistory of human groups,
Linguistic diversity and modes of communication of people and groups,
Biological diversity and evolutionary history of humans and our primate relatives.
The Bachelor’s in Anthropology program has been discontinued and is not accepting applications for admission. The University is still authorized to offer the program and issue the associated credential for students who are currently enrolled in the program.
