Investigating the Human Experience
Anthropology students and alumni have conducted in-depth research on communities throughout the world. They have explored the archaeology and history of past societies and entered the field of heritage studies and historic preservation. They have studied human biology, population health, and primatology.
Our graduates have gone on to work in international economic and political institutions. Many have entered the health professions and fields related to environment, climate, and sustainability.
Students have opportunities to collaborate with our world-renowned scholars on original laboratory, ethnographic and archaeological research, which can lead to conference presentations and professional publications.
