The curriculum is structured to include studies in the history and theory of anthropology in four anthropological fields: ethnology, archeology, bioanthropology, and linguistics; in at least two different world ethnographic areas; and in topical specializations.? This program helps you prepare for graduate study, for teaching, and for careers in which the understanding of cultures is an asset.

Although a minor is not required for the Bachelor?s degree in Anthropology, an outside concentration is recommended.? Fifteen credits in history, political science, psychology, or sociology support the concentration.
