The Department of Anthropology is dedicated to studying and educating about worldwide human diversity across time. Using both theoretical frameworks and practical methods, anthropology examines humanity's biological and cultural evolution, language systems, modern societies, and cultural practices while offering comparative perspectives on human behavior. We aim to utilize anthropological principles to address pressing contemporary issues in society, health, culture, and the environment. Students can pursue Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, or Master of Science degrees, with graduate program details available in the Graduate Catalog. Our curriculum covers archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology. Additionally, we provide an Associate of Arts in Shoshoni, minors in Anthropology, American Indian Studies, Latino Studies, and Linguistics, plus specialized tracks in archaeological science, ecological studies, medical anthropology, applied anthropology, forensic studies, and language conservation.
