Anthropology is the study of humanity. Anthropology is distinguished from other disciplines by its emphasis on a holistic approach to the study of human behavior. Anthropologists consider culture, history, language, and biology essential for a complete understanding of humankind. The Anthropology program provides a wide variety of courses that range from general surveys to specialized topics. The program goes far beyond an emphasis on coverage and content; it is designed to teach students to think critically, and communicate effectively. Additionally, most core course requirements carry the General Education designation. This means that this program is also a vehicle for students to broaden their perspectives and deepen their understandings of the world around them.

Statement on Race & Racism
Anthropology, as a discipline, studies human variation. As stated by the American Association of Physical Anthropologists, “Our knowledge of human biology, variation, and history shows that race does not have roots in biology but in policies and practices of colonialism and oppression. This fact must be broadcast widely, loudly, and frequently until it is common knowledge. … it is on our shoulders to lead the way to a better future.” Please see the organization’s Open Letter to Our Community in Response to Police Brutality Against African-Americans and a Call to Antiracist Action.
