BA in Anthropology - Archaeology in Provo United States | Brigham Young University

The Anthropology Department strives to provide students with a global anthropological viewpoint, examining human diversity through comprehensive, worldwide lenses while fostering appreciation for humanity's creativity and cultural richness.

To achieve this goal, the Anthropology program presents a wide array of courses exploring global societies and civilizations, both historical and contemporary. The socio-cultural focus teaches students modern anthropological methodologies and theoretical frameworks. Skills gained through either specialization equip students to apply anthropological concepts across various professional fields.

Anthropology endeavors to chronicle the universal human experience across all cultures throughout time. Practitioners employ theoretical frameworks to guide their observations and interpret findings systematically. Through fieldwork techniques, they gather and document evidence of organized human existence in specific contexts, spanning both ancient civilizations (archaeology) and modern societies (socio-cultural anthropology).
