CO-OP & CAREER GUIDES
ANTHROPOLOGY
Anthropology is the study of human beings —
the various cultures, traditions, and daily practices that
define, separate, and unite us. Through detailed study
and field experience, anthropologists strive to gain a
thorough understanding of the world’s populations.

Students majoring in anthropology broaden their
understanding of the diversity of cultures and ways of life
in the global environment through theoretical courses,
content area courses, and specialized courses in field
techniques and methodology. Many corporations,
schools, and health care institutions are using
ethnographic field techniques and qualitative methods in
order to understand their markets, clientele, and their
own organizational structure. Anthropology students are prepared for employment in these
areas as well as for graduate work in anthropology, public policy, law, and other social and
behavioral sciences. The Anthropology program has three goals:
•
•
•
To introduce students to the classic work in cultural anthropology and
contextualize that work through a focus on technology, the information society
and the processes of globalization
To provide strong training in methodology
To integrate fieldwork directly into the curriculum
Students wanting specific information about the major are encouraged to stop by the
