Anthropology explores humanity's beginnings, current state, and future possibilities. The Anthropology Department provides bachelor's and master's programs, along with a minor option. The undergraduate curriculum delivers comprehensive insights into human existence while equipping students with diverse skills and research techniques used in anthropological fieldwork and lab investigations. These examine environmental influences on human survival, cultural foundations of behavior, and contemporary challenges in sustaining healthy, productive societies.
Our exclusive Master's program ensures personalized faculty guidance. Distinctive features include vibrant extracurriculars like the Anthropology Club that fosters graduate student connections. Unlike typical MA-focused programs, we provide exceptional professional growth opportunities. Career-bound 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 rates, with competitive funding options including Teaching Assistantships and fellowships.
Our Cultural Anthropology MA specializes in Medical Anthropology - examining health, illness, and disease across human populations through anthropology's distinctive lenses: evolutionary biology, cultural dynamics, and historical patterns. This interdisciplinary field investigates healthcare systems, disease epidemiology, maternal/child health, nutritional practices, human development, health policies, disparities, community wellness initiatives, health-focused media, and medical communication strategies.
