The purpose of Anthropology is to make the world safe for human differences.
Anthropology is the study of all aspects of humans, from the time of the earliest
human ancestors to contemporary societies. Students of anthropology learn to develop
a broad perspective on humanity, apply scientific research methods, and work effectively
in a multi-cultural environment. These competencies can help students succeed in a
global society. A major in anthropology offers a solid foundation for students planning
undergraduate and graduate work in anthropology, archaeology, or related fields in
the social sciences or life sciences. Anthropology is an excellent background for
professional training in medicine, education, law, business or social work, and for
careers in the private sector, government and non-profit organizations.
