BA In Archaeological Studies - Cultural Anthropology in La Crosse United States | University of Wisconsin-La Crosse

The Cultural Anthropology Emphasis Major at UWL prepares students to explore cross-cultural global challenges and pursue careers tackling social issues at local and international levels. Cultural anthropologists establish meaningful connections with communities, promoting diversity appreciation while recognizing that effective change requires collaborative input. We understand solutions must be context-specific, as approaches that work for one group may not suit others with distinct histories, political systems, and belief structures.
Our curriculum employs comprehensive, intercultural, and comparative frameworks to examine human diversity, equipping students with theoretical knowledge and methodological tools to analyze modern societies through their own cultural logic.

Students can choose from diverse course offerings examining cultural practices worldwide, along with specialized regional studies of global communities.

We strongly support international education through both short and extended study abroad opportunities, with many students receiving university funding for overseas research projects and internships.
