Anthropology students explore humanity's journey, spanning millions of years from our origins to modern times. As one of the most adaptable fields in the College, it serves as the primary academic and practical foundation for multicultural understanding within the University and neighboring areas. In simpler terms, we celebrate diversity.
Wake Forest University's Anthropology Department fosters awareness and respect for human cultural and biological differences. By offering academic programs, research opportunities, and community engagement, the department equips students with essential skills for global participation. With faculty representing all anthropological specialties, the department stands as the leading academic resource for multicultural education at the University and in Winston-Salem, supporting Wake Forest's Pro Humanitate mission.
