- Anthropology is unique in being a hands-on field of study. Anthropology can be done wherever people are, and wherever people were. As a student of Anthropology at St. Thomas, students can expect to get out there in the real world, interacting with people in a variety of social contexts, excavating artifacts, and analyzing bones in our anthropology laboratory.
- Cultural anthropologists, social anthropologists, and linguists typically spend years living with particular groups of people, participating in their everyday lives.
