BA in Anthropology in Pocatello United States | Idaho State University

The Anthropology program equips students with expertise across four core areas: archaeology, biological anthropology, anthropological linguistics, and sociocultural anthropology. Students can pursue minors in Anthropology, American Indian Studies, Latino Studies, and Linguistics, with focused study options in archaeological science, ecological anthropology, medical anthropology, applied anthropology, forensics, language conservation, and oral traditions. Our department is committed to investigating and educating about human diversity worldwide, spanning ancient history to modern times. Using both theoretical frameworks and practical methodologies, anthropology examines humanity's biological and cultural evolution, language systems, modern societies, and cultural practices while offering comparative perspectives on human behavior across time and environments. We aim to utilize anthropological knowledge to address pressing contemporary challenges in social justice, cultural preservation, public health, and environmental sustainability. The department provides undergraduate studies culminating in a Bachelor of Arts degree, along with graduate programs leading to Master of Arts or Master of Science degrees.
