Introduction
The B.A. in Anthropology provides a challenging curriculum in the sub-disciplines of:
- Cultural Anthropology
- Biological Anthropology
- Archaeology
Students immerse themselves in field-based learning, data-oriented research, and a solid grounding in the theoretical constructs and ethics of the discipline. Students taking courses in Anthropology develop a multifaceted understanding of human diversity steeped in time, multicultural ethnographic comparisons, and the science of our physical form. This enriching perspective is not only well-suited for subsequent graduate studies and professional careers in anthropology, but also for fostering the acceptance of others and negotiating the many facets of our modern global society.
