The curriculum in anthropology is designed to develop an understanding and appreciation of human life from various perspectives. It does this by providing both general survey courses (Anth 101, 102, 103) and in its departmental major program, a balanced view of the anthropological subfields of biological anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and sociocultural anthropology. The departmental major program is of benefit to the liberal arts student in providing the most broadly based view of human adaptation, evolution, variation, and achievement. A variety of ethnographic courses is offered for persons with particular regional or areas of interests, such as East Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific Northwest. Finally, the major provides the necessary general anthropological background for those interested in graduate study in the discipline. See our undergraduate program planning guide.
