Anthropology is unique in being a hands-on field of study. Anthropology can be done wherever people are, and wherever people were. As a student of Anthropology at St. Thomas, you can expect to get out there in the real world, interacting with people in a variety of social contexts, excavating artifacts, and analyzing bones in our anthropology laboratory.

Studying Anthropology can open doors to positions in research institutions, non-profit associations, museums, government agencies, educational institutions, world organizations, and private corporations. Anthropologists may work anywhere where there is a need to manage, evaluate and interpret data on human behaviour. If you are creative, a background in Anthropology can be an asset in documentary fi lm or the music industry. The ethnographic research skills learned in Anthropology are even used in areas of market and consumer research, and anthropologists work for some of the world’s largest advertising firms, as well as other large corporate organizations.
