人类学专业的学生考察了过去和现在的社会，将人类学和考古学的理论和实践带入了与种族主义，性别歧视，同性恋恐惧症，不平等，贫困，环境恶化以及种族/文化灭绝种族的斗争中。通过提供人类学（BA），人类学（未成年人）和公共人类学（本科证书），美国大学的人类学本科课程向学生介绍了人类学的所有四个子领域，许多学生专门研究一个领域。研究生课程包括公共人类学（MA），公共人类学（研究生证书）和专注于文化/社会人类学和考古学的人类学（PhD）。所有课程都强调积极合作学习，因为人类学为讨论和辩论打开了许多令人兴奋的问题。鼓励学
Anthropology students examine past and present societies to bring anthropological and archaeological theory and practice to ongoing struggles against racism, sexism, homophobia, inequality, poverty, environmental degradation, and ethnic/cultural genocide. Offering the Anthropology (BA), Anthropology (Minor), and Public Anthropology (Undergraduate Certificate), the undergraduate anthropology program at American University introduces students to all four subfields of anthropology, and many students specialize in one. Graduate programs include the Public Anthropology (MA), Public Anthropology (Graduate Certificate), and an Anthropology (PhD) with concentrations in cultural/social anthropology and archaeology. All programs stress active, cooperative learning, for anthropology opens up many exciting questions for discussion and debate. Students are encouraged to learn outside the classroom, through internships and job placements, field trips and experiential classes, and study abroad. Washington, DC offers many opportunities for students to broaden their learning through museums and research facilities and the rich community life of the city. Many anthropology majors choose to spend a semester abroad. With prior approval, the department accepts courses taken through AU Abroad as credit for the major.
