About Bachelor of Arts - Anthropology
The Bachelor of Arts - Anthropology program is offered by the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and offers courses in all branches of anthropology. The program is designed to prepare students for graduate study in anthropology, professional training in other fields, or careers in which a broad base of understanding the human condition is useful. They gain actual hands-on experience in either archaeology or cultural anthropology. A 21-credit minor is also offered. They may acquire a liberal arts education or plan their own program for more specific career preparation.
Students learn to:
- Analyze and apply anthropological concepts, synthesize information from a variety of sources, and communicate ideas clearly.
- Apply anthropological approaches to the human past that integrate contemporary archaeological theory, methods, and analytical techniques to understand long term patterns and change through time.
- Apply theory and methods from linguistic Sociology and Anthropology in order to situate the human capacity for symbolic communication in an evolutionary context, and to show how people in all human societies, past and present, use language in a variety of ways to mediate relationships among themselves and other features of their world.
- Demonstrate a broad knowledge of four-field Sociology & Anthropology, including anthropological theory and method and respect for human diversity worldwide and through time.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the anthropological concept of culture that includes the application of anthropological theory and method to investigating cultural diversity across time and space, the importance of symbolic activity in human activity, and the independence of human cultural and biological variation.
