BA in Anthropology in Fort Collins United States | Colorado State University

The Department of Anthropology and Geography brings together experts in cultural anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, and geography, offering comprehensive insights into human existence. Our undergraduate program equips students to observe, evaluate, and understand diverse aspects of humanity. Coursework primarily explores the social, environmental, and evolutionary frameworks shaping our species, integrating perspectives from geography, biology, humanities, and various scientific disciplines. Geographic analysis serves as a key tool for studying human communities across time. Students can participate in four core research areas: environmental interactions, global development studies, health studies, and professional methodologies. We emphasize hands-on learning, original research, and community involvement in undergraduate education.

Faculty research spans multiple disciplines and global contexts, investigating subjects ranging from modern societies and cultural identity to language studies, religious comparisons, digital environments, ancient civilizations, ecological relationships, human biology, evolutionary processes, spatial patterns, and primate behavior.

Our anthropology program offers a liberal arts foundation focused on developing critical thinking skills. The department maintains ten specialized labs and operates three summer field programs: Ethnographic Studies, Archaeological Excavation, and Fossil Research.
