Anthropology explores humanity's beginnings, current state, and future possibilities. The Anthropology Department provides undergraduate and graduate degrees, along with a minor option. The bachelor's program gives students a comprehensive understanding of human existence while teaching essential skills and research techniques used in anthropological fieldwork and lab studies. These examine ecological influences on human life, cultural foundations of behavior, and contemporary challenges to sustaining healthy, productive societies.
Our Master's program offers personalized attention from faculty and distinctive features. The program fosters graduate student connections through activities like our engaged Anthropology Club. It also provides exceptional professional development opportunities uncommon in MA-focused programs. Career-seeking students can join our mentorship initiative matching them with alumni in their desired fields. For those pursuing doctoral studies, we have a strong track record of placing graduates in elite programs. Residents from 14 states qualify for in-state tuition, with competitive funding options including Teaching Assistantships and fellowships.
The graduate program's biological anthropology specialization examines modern human biological diversity and its evolutionary roots. Students master evolutionary principles behind physical and behavioral differences in humans and other species, plus quantitative analysis methods. Course offerings span evolutionary biology, genetics, ecology, ethnobiology, epidemiology, nutrition, medical anthropology, primatology, and paleontology.
Given biological anthropology's interdisciplinary nature, students are advised to explore relevant courses beyond departmental offerings.
