Course summary

This program prepares one for graduate study and thus be the first step in a career as an anthropologist. Professional anthropologists typically earn a postgraduate degree, which qualifies them to work not only in traditional fields of university and museum teaching and research, but also in many “applied” fields - including the National Park Service, development agencies, health and immigration services, education, and even private corporations. This program of study in anthropology has as its objective the grounding of students in three main subfields of anthropology: cultural anthropology, archaeology, and physical anthropology
