Anthropology is the holistic and cross-cultural study of humankind.
Applied anthropology is a recent area of specialization that involves the use of anthropology in nonacademic settings such as schools and hospitals. The anthropology minor consists of six courses or 18 s.h. The other three courses are electives and students may choose from a variety of upper-level courses such as North American Indians, Medical Anthropology, and North American Archaeology. One of the strengths of the anthropology program at Shippensburg University is the availability of internship placements for our students. Examples include internships at the State Museum in Harrisburg, the Smithsonian Institution, the Cumberland County Historical Society, and with contract archaeology firms.
