The University of Oklahoma has offered anthropology courses since 1905, forming a dedicated department in 1927. Distinguished scholars such as Morris Opler and Robert Bell helped position the department at the forefront of Native North American studies. While our primary research focuses on North America's southwest, southeast, and plains regions, we've also cultivated expertise in Latin American studies. Our academic programs include an M.A. in anthropology, an M.A. in applied linguistic anthropology, an M.A. with a socio-cultural anthropology specialization, and a Ph.D. in anthropology. The curriculum provides comprehensive instruction across anthropology's four core areas: sociocultural, archaeological, biological, and linguistic studies.
