Anthropology is the holistic, cross-cultural study of humanity that explores the multiple ways humans live and create meaning in the world. The anthropology major at Northeastern exposes students to diverse cultural perspectives from past and present societies fosters student engagement with key contemporary issues such as global inequality, development, urbanization, and cultural change and provides greater appreciation for the complexities of the world in which they live. Sociology and cultural anthropology provide the critical perspective needed for studying the social and cultural arrangements in which people live, for understanding how societies function, for investigating the conditions under which people change their institutions, and for describing the modes and conditions of cooperation that make social life possible.
