BSc in Anthropology in Chicago United States | Loyola University Chicago

Anthropology serves as a distinctive field that connects both social and natural sciences. Those pursuing a BA, BS, or minor in anthropology will examine humanity's rich diversity across time and cultures worldwide. The breadth of anthropology is expansive, traditionally organized into four core subfields, each offering unique insights into what defines us as humans:
Biological anthropology examines evolution, adaptation, and variations in human and primate populations, both past and present.
Cultural anthropology delves into modern human societies and the wide array of social institutions.
Archaeology seeks to interpret human behavior by analyzing material remains from earlier civilizations.
Linguistic anthropology studies language, communication, and their connections to cultural practices.
The Anthropology Department provides degree options including a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or minor in anthropology, as well as a combined sociology/anthropology major leading to a BA. Students benefit from specialized resources such as biological and archaeology labs, anthropometric tools, research materials, darkroom facilities, computer access, and the Human Relations Area Files on microfiche.
