Anthropology

Anthropology is the study of humans - past, present and future. Just like humans, the field spans all parts of the world and covers a full range of activities and achievements. At its core, anthropology sheds light on the roots of global problems, including chronic inequality and persistent poverty. Students graduate from this program with outstanding communication and analytic skills that can be applied in any career. It's no wonder you'll find our alumni in nearly every field - from forensic anthropology, law, journalism and dentistry, to museum studies, education and international arts management.

“Earning an anthropology degree has been one of the best choices I've made because of the tight-knit anthropology department. The advisers helped me get the most out of my education, allowed me to tailor my degree to my own interests and have kept up with me after graduation to provide additional support.”
