Anthropology, BA

Anthropology is a social science that seeks to understand and explain human cultural, behavioral, and biological variation through time and space. The undergraduate Anthropology program introduces students to the field of anthropology, its branches, its theories and methods, and its relation to the other social sciences, the humanities, and the natural sciences. The program offers opportunities to study abroad in Kenya, Madagascar, and other areas.

The goals of the Anthropology program are to:

introduce students to the ways in which evolutionary and historical processes have shaped our past and resulted in the biological, behavioral, and cultural diversity observed today across modern humans and nonhuman primates;
showcase for students the connections among all primates (including humans) as well as primates’ interactions with their environments across time and space;
promote students’ understanding and development of skills in the collection, analysis, synthesis, and interpretation of varying types of anthropological data, and;
foster students’ ability to effectively communicate anthropological knowledge in both written and oral form.
The program achieves these goals via coursework leading to five major learning outcomes that prepare students to pursue several postgraduate paths.
