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.
