Anthropology explores the full spectrum of human existence throughout history, current times, and what lies ahead. Thriving in today's world demands comprehension of cultural differences and the evolutionary roots of human actions and biology in our globally connected society. With its all-encompassing methodology, anthropology uniquely offers insights into humanity across different eras and regions. The UNLV Anthropology Department dedicates itself to scholarly inquiry, serving the public good, and educating both graduate and undergraduate students to achieve this vision. Through a cohesive academic program, we focus on equipping students with balanced training in anthropological methods and theories. Additionally, our department plays a vital role in the university's objectives by delivering courses and research initiatives with local and international significance, fostering appreciation for our common human bonds while celebrating the extraordinary variety of global cultures.
