Anthropology
Department |

Anthropology is based on cross-cultural, biocultural, and holistic approaches to the scientific
understanding of human behavior and society, both past and present. The discipline, noted for its
considerable theoretical and methodological diversity, encompasses four major sub-fields: social
and cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, archaeology, and linguistic anthropology.
Moreover, the emphasis on increasing knowledge in these areas of inquiry is complemented by a
strong commitment to the application of anthropological knowledge to the solving of human problems.
In recent years, graduates have pursued advanced training in anthropology and related disciplines,
while others have entered the professions (medicine, law, and teaching) and diverse public and
private sector careers. The Anthropology major provides an excellent background for a variety of
jobs and vocations. |
