Overview
Anthropology students develop the skills and knowledge to address a range of human concerns, drawing on the biological and social sciences and the humanities. You'll choose from courses across the four major Anthropology subfields: Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology and Anthropological Linguistics. About 75% of our students double major, because the study of anthropology complements many disciplines
