At its core, anthropology sheds light on the roots of global problems, including chronic inequality and persistent poverty. Students graduate from this program with outstanding communication and analytic skills that can be applied in any career. It's no wonder you'll find our alumni in nearly every field - from forensic anthropology, law, journalism and dentistry, to museum studies, education and international arts management.
With one-on-one support from our faculty, you'll plan a program of study to suit your interests or specialization. Our curriculum includes introductory courses in cultural and physical anthropology along with specialized ones in all aspects of the human experience: intercultural communication; race and ethnicity; religion and ritual; kinship; law; health and medicine. In each class, you'll toggle between abstract ideas and concrete, ethnographic data. You'll also learn from engaging faculty members who are experts in the cultures of the Caribbean, Latin America, the United States and Southeast Asia.
