Anthropology is the holistic study of humans today and in the past, with a focus on cultural diversity and bio-cultural variation and a scope that includes our ancestors and close relatives in the primates. Students will be introduced to the core concepts, research methods and theories of the major subfields of anthropology. Anthropology – the study of “who we are and how we came to be that way” – not only provides a sound liberal arts education but also gives students a needed edge in today’s competitive world of careers and jobs.

Anthropology students are encouraged to see the world holistically – the sum of biological, social and cultural parts – and adopt the viewpoint of cultural relativism, which seeks to understand beliefs and activities of individuals in terms of that individual’s own culture. Your studies will cover the mosaic of cultural differences around the planet, which will help students understand the diverse motivations of today’s global economy. Studying other people helps us see ourselves more clearly; and being able to see the big picture and small details at the same time will only serve to benefit graduates in future careers, regardless of whether they enter the public or private sectors.
