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.
