BA in Anthropology - Sociocultural 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 features a wide range of courses exploring world cultures throughout history. The socio-cultural focus teaches contemporary anthropological methods and theories. Skills gained in either specialization equip students to apply anthropological principles across various professional fields.

Anthropology endeavors to chronicle the human experience across all cultures, both historical and contemporary. Anthropologists employ theoretical frameworks to guide their observations and organize findings. Through fieldwork techniques, they gather and document evidence of organized societies, studying both ancient civilizations (archaeology) and modern communities (socio-cultural anthropology).
