Department of Anthropology

The Department of Anthropology offers courses and programs that lead to: a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology; a minor in Anthropology with concentrations in general anthropology, archaeology, cultural anthropology, and physical anthropology; a minor in Anthropology in Multicultural Studies; a minor in Native American Indian Studies; an undergraduate certificate in forensics; a graduate certificate in Maya Studies; and, a Master of Arts in Anthropology with tracks in Cultural Competency, Archaeological Investigations in Forensics and Human Adaptations, and Maya Studies. The Undergraduate Anthropology Program prepares students for graduate training in Anthropology and provides them with the skills needed to apply the concepts, methods, and theories of Anthropology in the real world. Anthropology has four subdisciplines, consisting of language and culture, cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, and archaeology. While undergraduate students are exposed to each of the subfields of Anthropology, the training for advanced work in each field differs. Thus, students should consult with their departmental advisor early in their academic careers.
