人类学文学士

人类学系设有文化人类学家，考古学家，生物人类学家和地理学家学院，其奖学金涵盖了人类经验的广度。该程序使本科生能够描述，分析和解释人类的状况。对人类所处的社会，环境和进化环境的考察定义了该学科的大多数课程。该计划是综合性的，借鉴了地理，生物学，人文科学以及其他社会科学和自然科学。地理在我们的计划中占有重要地位，并提供了重要的空间视角，可以随着时间的推移检查人类群体。四个计划性领域定义了教师可以让学生参与的研究和奖学金：人类与环境，国际发展与全球化，健康与福祉以及专业方法和技术。在本科教育中，该系重视并促进体
The Department of Anthropology and Geography houses a faculty of cultural anthropologists, archaeologists, biological anthropologists, and geographers whose scholarship spans the breadth of the human experience. The program prepares undergraduate students to describe, analyze, and interpret the human condition. An examination of the social, environmental, and evolutionary contexts in which the human species is embedded defines most course work in the discipline. The program is integrative, drawing from geography, biology, the humanities, and other social and natural sciences. Geography figures prominently in our program and provides an important spatial lens through which human groups are examined over time. Four programmatic areas define faculty research and scholarship with which students can engage: humans and the environment, international development and globalization, health and well-being, and professional methods and techniques. In the education of undergraduates, the department values and promotes experiential training, primary research, as well as public engagement and education.<br><br>The research endeavors of the anthropology faculty are trans-disciplinary and international. They are interested in diverse topics including but not limited to contemporary culture, ethnicity, linguistics, comparative religion, virtual worlds, subsistence patterns, archaeology, human ecology, human anatomy, human evolution, biogeography, land cover/land use patterns, and the behavior of non-human primates.<br><br>Anthropology majors follow a liberal arts curriculum that provides a broad education with an emphasis on learning how to learn. The department has ten research and teaching laboratories and three summer field schools, the Ethnographic Field School, the Archaeology Field School, and the Paleontology Field School.<br><br>Undergraduate students can pursue a general anthropology degree focused on an appreciation of human diversity, past and present, from a broad and holistic perspective. Students can also declare a concentration within the program. Declaring a concentration allows for a focused course of study, specializing in the particular subfield of interest. Within each concentration (Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, and Cultural Anthropology), specific categories of classes guide students in learning the major theories, methods, and applications related to the modern practice of our discipline. Along with our offerings of world class field schools, course work in archaeological, biological, and ethnographic methods and geographical techniques are encouraged in order to further gain experience and perspective. Upon graduation, students are prepared for a diverse array of jobs or advanced training in graduate school. Students come away with a respect and appreciation for the diversity of human existence.
