Department of Anthropology and Archaeology
Undergraduate programs
Anthropology explores the connections between cultures, societies and species to understand global challenges. A degree in Anthropology prepares you to think holistically about what it means to be human. You will study humanity's ancestors, the worldview of cultures different than your own, and more.
Graduate programs
The Department of Anthropology and Archaeology embraces an integrative approach, with a focus on the fields of archaeology, biological anthropology, and social and cultural anthropology.
