Anthropology is the study of humans in the broadest sense: biological, sociocultural, and historical. Most undergraduates in anthropology at UCSB select this major because of the opportunity it affords them to acquire a sound liberal education, even if they do not intend to become anthropologists. However, the professionally oriented student will also find the curriculum fully suitable.<br><br>The aim of the anthropology major is threefold: (1) to prepare for graduate school those students who wish to work professionally in anthropology, (2) to prepare students for careers in secondary education or in social work, and (3) to provide a background in behavioral studies for students who desire a broad education in either the biological or the social sciences.<br><br>Students interested in modern social and cultural groups choose an emphasis in cultural anthropology. Students interested in understanding the biological underpinnings and ecological/evolutionary adaptations of modern and ancient humans choose and emphasis in biological anthropology. Students interested in ancient peoples from both cultural and biological perspectives choose an emphasis in archaeology. Students who prefer a broad overview of all of these topics should choose the general major without an emphasis.
