Anthropology is the study of human nature, society and culture.
It is a scholarly discipline which aims to describe, in the broadest possible sense, what it means to be human. The anthropology major is designed so that students are prepared for graduate study in anthropology, professional training in other fields, or other careers in which a broad base of understanding the human condition is useful. The anthropology program is unique in that it requires students to gain actual field experience through carefully directed field schools in archaeology and cultural anthropology. A course in American Indian societies and cultures may be substituted. Select from ANTH courses at the 200-level or above.
