In addition to the introductory information presented here, the anthropology department has its own home page. Undergraduate course descriptions for the anthropology department are also available online.
Students explore the unity and diversity of human experience.
Through courses that cover a wide range of societies throughout the world, we investigate the human condition, past and present. More advanced courses provide the opportunity for students to pursue intensive study of particular topics in cross-cultural perspective. Students have the opportunity to take courses in other departments that complement specific foci in anthropology. Because anthropology engenders a broad overview of diverse peoples and cultures majors are well-prepared to live in a rapidly charging world. The major both prepares students for graduate-level studies and serves as a foundation for a wide range of careers.
