Why Study Anthropology?
Anthropology is the study of humankind, past and present. There are many reasons to pursue studies in anthropology, including the following:
- Anthropology provides a broad understanding of humanity through its four subdisciplines: Cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, biological anthropology, and archaeology.
- Employment opportunities for anthropologists and archaeologists are projected to grow over the next 10 years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Anthropology’s focus on cultural diversity provides tools for imagining solutions to complex social and environmental problems.
- Our undergraduate and master’s programs prepare students with professional and critical thinking skills.
