BSc in Anthropology - Archaeology in Albuquerque United States | University of New Mexico

Our academic curriculum is founded on the principle that Anthropology, above all other fields, offers profound understanding of human identity, our evolutionary journey, and potential futures. By deepening students' knowledge of both historical and contemporary biological and cultural variations, we equip them to tackle intricate challenges and positively impact communities at local, national, and global levels. Whether undergraduates opt for advanced studies in anthropology or other disciplines, or enter professional fields directly, we aim to deliver comprehensive learning through diverse course formats - from large lectures to intimate seminars, complemented by various laboratory and fieldwork opportunities spanning anthropology's specializations. Our graduate programs train students for both scholarly and practical career paths in Anthropology.

This program systematically examines humanity, our ancestors, primate relatives, and cultural practices through comparative analysis. Coursework encompasses biological/physical anthropology, primatology, human paleontology, prehistoric archaeology, hominid development, anthropological linguistics, ethnographic studies, cultural anthropology, ethnohistory, psychological anthropology, research methodologies, and practical applications in fields like medicine, forensic science, museum curation, and international relations.
