We are a traditional liberal arts major that prepares students to continue their formal education or to enter the general work force.
Anthropology is the study of people and culture.
It seeks to produce generalizations about people, their behavior, and culture to develop an understanding of human diversity. Traditionally Anthropology has emphasized the study of non-western societies. However, in recent years it has begun to study western societies as well. The Anthropology curriculum offers a wide range of undergraduate and a limited number of graduate courses that cover the traditional four fields. We encourage students to participate in conventional classroom settings as well as non-traditional courses.
