What is Anthropology?

Anthropology is the holistic study of human diversity and the application of that knowledge to help people of different backgrounds better understand one another. Anthropologists study all that encompasses being human — how we evolved, how we adapt and how we live.

The anthropology major is multidisciplinary and prepares students for a wide range of employment options or graduate-level studies. An anthropology degree provides students with exceptional tools for use in the modern globalized world.
