- Anthropology is a particularly broad major, designed for students who are preparing for employment with research organizations, museums, for administrative and research positions with state or federal governments (such as state highway departments and the National Park Service), and with human service agencies or organizations that involve work in foreign countries, among other areas.
- The undergraduate major in anthropology also prepares students for graduate training in professional fields such as planning, law, and public administration, as well as for further graduate training in anthropology leading to college and university teaching and research positions.
