Bachelor of Arts - Anthropology

The degree in Anthropology provides opportunities to study and understand human social, cultural, biological, prehistoric, and language systems. The program features a holistic cross-cultural approach that includes research, fieldwork, and service.

The Anthropology Department is creatively engaged in research and application to the study of the behavior, institutions, and the biological makeup of humankind. Students can learn ethnographic methods, computer simulation, multimedia production, laboratory science, bioarcheology, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Labs are state-of-the-art. Not only will students develop the skills of a working anthropologist, but they will also learn essential career skills like critical thinking, writing, communication, and hands-on research. Students can take advantage of opportunities to do fieldwork and internships here in Arizona and around the world.
