Anthropology (meaning "the study of humanity") encompasses a wide-ranging discipline that examines every facet of human existence across time - from ancient civilizations to contemporary societies and future possibilities. At the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, anthropology undergraduates discover this expansive scope through coursework spanning cultural, biological, and archaeological approaches. The program ensures foundational knowledge across these core areas while enabling students to specialize in their preferred anthropological domains. Graduates earning a Bachelor of Arts in anthropology from UT Knoxville gain qualifications for diverse career paths including healthcare, education, public administration, legal fields, social services, and community support. Those aspiring to become professional anthropologists will need postgraduate education, for which the department's distinguished faculty and comprehensive curriculum provide exceptional undergraduate preparation.
