About the Major

What does it mean to be human? How did we get to be the way we are? What will become of humans in the future? Students in the School of Anthropology try to answer these questions – and many more – about our species.

You can obtain either a B.A. or a B.S. degree in anthropology. With the B.S. major, you can concentrate in:
