Introduction
The Department of Anthropology coordinates
and directs a program for those who wish to pursue
a career in the discipline of anthropology, for those
simply interested in the human condition and for
those who may wish to combine the study of anthropology with another discipline.
Courses in anthropology are grouped to provide
students with an understanding of human physical,
social and cultural complexity, and the relationships
of humans to one another and the environment. Physical anthropology provides an understanding of human
origins and human biological variability. Anthropological linguistics adds to the understanding of language
and other forms of human communication within
the context of culture. Archaeology provides a sense of
the past by exploring the changes and development
of ancient cultures and environments. Sociocultural
anthropology provides appreciation and understanding of human social and cultural patterns and human
behavior.
Programs of Study
The department offers programs in the following
areas:
• Bachelor of Arts with a major in anthropology;
• Master of Arts, and
• Master of Science, both with a major in applied
anthropology.
