The field of Anthropology allows students to build cross-
cultural understandings and overcome ethnocentrism through an
intensive study of cultures and societies from the ancient past
to the present, through holistic and cross-cultural study.
Anthropologists explore the totality of culture, including
economies, political systems, families, gender and sexuality,
religion, art, myth, folklore, prehistory, primate study, and
linguistics. They Anthropology is traditionally divided into
four fields of study: Cultural or Social Anthropology,
Archaeology, Linguistics and Physical or Biological
Anthropology. Anthropologists also apply cross-cultural
understandings through applied or practice-oriented
anthropology. The Anthropology department offers courses in all
sub-fields except Linguistics. The study of Anthropology is a
good preparation for employment in education, government, social
service agencies, Foreign Service, cultural resource management,
forensics, and business, including international business.
