The discipline of anthropology studies humankind in all the cultures of the world, both past and present. This study includes humankind's physical development and the wide diversity of lifestyles people have created.

The Anthropology major is a liberal arts degree with a broad base of information and understanding about human behavior. The cross-cultural approach of Anthropology provides a framework for understanding the many sub-cultural differences we meet every day. The Anthropology major can open many doors of opportunity and provide valuable training to successfully deal with the fluid and changing of the future.

The Anthropology Department provides training in four subdisciplines: cultural anthropology, archaeology, physical anthropology and anthropological linguistics. Using ethnographic, ethnological and ethnohistorical tools, and information supplied by the four subdisciplines, the anthropologist studies cultures and the processes of human development comparatively.
 


There are four major concentrations available:

* Anthropology * Archaeology * Anthropology/Biology * Anthropology/Education

A minor in Anthropology is also available.
