Anthropology and Archeology

Anthropology involves the study of all humans from all places and all times. As an area of study, it provides an opportunity to delve deeply into the vast spectrum of human cultural practices and explore the cultural commonalities that link all human populations. We offer majors in anthropology and archeology. Our archeology program includes studies in Indiana, Alaska, and Cyprus with field and travel opportunities available every year. Our facilities include the Archeology and Forensics Laboratory which provides ongoing research opportunities.

In addition, we work closely with the Department of Biology in order to facilitate students’ interests in human biology, biological variation, and evolution. Today the value of an undergraduate major in anthropology or archeology is ever increasing as cultures of the world come into greater contact and as our study of human history brings to life the achievements of all peoples.

Career options for anthropologists are varied and rewarding, all reflecting the adaptability that comes with studying and learning from other peoples and cultures. A few of the employment possibilities are:

  • linguistics
  • human biology
  • corporate consulting
  • archeology
  • social work
  • medical anthropology
  • organizational behavior
  • education
  • museum studies
  • art
  • ethnology
  • marketing
