With almost three thousand enrollees per academic year we provide a wide array of courses within the liberal arts curriculum, so that it is common for undergraduates to have at least one anthropology course on their transcript. Our department has paid very close attention to curriculum throughout our 25-year history. Two members of our departmental faculty were key players in the development of the University's General Education curriculum. Our faculty continue to play key roles, not only in departmental course development, but also in College and University curricular committees and councils as well.
Anthropology is also a social science with significant theoretical and technological components.
Through the archaeology and medical anthropology programs our students regularly learn skills that make them readily employable outside of anthropology. Several students each year market these skills into a variety of jobs. At the present time our department's Curriculum Committee is engaged in a process of long-term course planning and development. This rigorous course takes the student on a global ethnographic tour. Keene and Page are also planning new offerings.
