Gregory R. Campbell,
Chairman
Anthropology is the study of people, both ancient and contemporary,
in their evolutionary, archaeological, cultural, and linguistic context
from prehistoric times to the present. Anthropology uses a holistic
approach to integrate findings from the social sciences, natural sciences,
and the humanities. The primary educational mission of the Department
of Anthropology is teaching, research, and professional service to
impart the critical importance of understanding the human condition
and its relevancy to living a productive life in an increasingly diverse
world. To accomplish this task, the Department of Anthropology course
offerings provide a stimulating and challenging curriculum that will
help students understand and appreciate the range of human cultures
from prehistory to the present; as well as the significance of biological
evolution of the human condition. Through our rigorous and competitive
undergraduate and graduate programs students not only achieve a broad
cross-cultural education, but prepare to apply their anthropological
knowledge in their chosen career paths. Bachelor of Arts and Master
of Arts degrees are offered in anthropology, with several options.
