After completing courses in the foundations of anthropology (Global Cultures, Archaeology, and Biological Anthropology), students have the flexibility to focus on the subjects that inspire them. The department offers method and theory courses tailored to each student’s career trajectory. A flexible foreign language requirement prepares students for cross-cultural experiences here and abroad. Multiple field schools, study abroad, and undergraduate research opportunities give students unique educational experiences valued by both employers and graduate programs.
