Anthropological study includes human genetics as well as personality and society, the prehistoric past as well as the present, preliterate tribes as well as modern industrial urbanites, the customs of ancient civilizations as well as the beliefs of folk peoples today. Anthropologists reconstruct societies and civilizations of the past, and analyze the cultures and languages of modern peoples.
Anthropology is the study of all aspects of humanity at all times.
The curriculum in anthropology introduces students to the major areas including biological anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, socio- cultural anthropology and applied anthropology, along with course work in other related areas. Due to the flexible requirements, anthropology lends itself to a double major or a major with teaching certification. Additionally, students in other majors can choose to minor in anthropology.
