• Anthropology is unique among the social sciences in that it celebrates humans as biological organisms and as innovative, creative, culture bearing beings.

•Through coursework, field schools, study abroad, independent studies and internships, students learn about cultural, linguistic and biological diversity, human biological characteristics, and the human past as revealed by archaeology.

•The anthropology program provides globally-oriented courses that stress critical thinking, method and theory, gathering and interpreting data, intensive reading and writing, hands-on learning, and the research methods and techniques used by anthropologists to understand contemporary human problems.
