• A major or minor in anthropology opens doors in many fields, including law, medicine, public health, education, social work, criminal justice, international development, diplomacy, social justice work, communications, management, and various types of non-profit work. Anthropology prepares students for graduate work in anthropology, museum studies, and other social science fields. Anthropology is both a STEM science, which introduces students to multiple perspectives on the scientific method, improves scientific literacy, and develops critical thinking, as well as an interpretive endeavor in which the human experience is understood through multiple lines of evidence.
