Beyond these subfields, concentrations are offered in biological anthropology and cross-cultural comparison. The anthropology major provides students with a broad social and behavioral science background and prepares students for a range of careers, from public service to marketing and international management. Through independent study, students work closely with faculty doing research.
Students regularly attend professional anthropology meetings and other discipline-related events.
Special programs include summer field schools in archaeology, internships in applied anthropology, and participation in department-sponsored diversity training institutes.
