Anthropology examines humanity and our biological connections throughout history and geography. This discipline takes a worldwide perspective on human societies, from ancient eras to modern times, combining insights from social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities. Anthropology students develop an understanding of biological, social, and cultural diversity across human evolution while exploring the significance of our biological and cultural progress.
The bachelor's program in anthropology focuses on building knowledge and understanding of:
Fundamental methodologies, concepts, theoretical perspectives, and interpretive frameworks relevant to the three primary branches of anthropology (archaeology, biological anthropology, and cultural anthropology).
Essential archaeological methods, such as stratigraphic analysis, dating techniques, and interpreting past human behavior from artifacts, along with tracing human development from early civilizations to complex societies.
Diversity, patterns, and innovation in human communities and symbolic systems, encompassing environmental, social, and cultural influences demonstrated across various global societies, including those experiencing transformation due to globalization and modern sociopolitical trends.
Principles of primate and human evolutionary theory, key evidence from the hominid fossil record, and biological differences among present-day human populations.
