Understand Human Behavior
The Anthropology, B.A., program delves into the study of humans. You will integrate science, social science, and humanities perspectives to understand what it means to be human.
Because individuals and societies are complex and dynamic, anthropology covers evolutionary origins, material artifacts, socio-cultural practices, language, worldviews, and cultural change over time.

Curriculum and Courses
Our curriculum is designed to foster student curiosity in the field, with over 30 upper level courses so that students can dive deep into their own interests in topics like artifact management, medicine, narrative, politics, primate behavior, and religion, or into world regions like Latin America, Native America, South Asia or the Middle East. Students also gain holistic training in the discipline with core courses that include labs to build skills in each of anthropology’s four sub-fields: archaeology, socio-cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and linguistic anthropology.
The liberal arts work off the primary assumption that there is no such thing as non-interdisciplinary approaches to problems; there is no job that does not deal with multiple fields. It’s not enough to be a ‘people person.’
