College of Arts and Sciences

Department of Anthropology

John E. Douglas, 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, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees are offered in anthropology, with several options.
