Anthropology seeks a broad comprehension of the human experience, through time and space, and asks the most enduring question, "What does it mean to be human?" Anthropology draws connections from studies of our hominid ancestors, living primates, and early human populations, to contemporary social and cultural formations. The Anthropology program focuses on cultural anthropology while providing exposure to the three other fields that make up the modern discipline: archaeology, biological anthropology and linguistics. Students who plan to major in anthropology should consult the Head of the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology or the Undergraduate Advisor concerning their choice of courses.
