Anthropologists seek to understand humans and human cultural practices, from our beginnings to the present day. Those who are trained in anthropology use biological, cultural, linguistic, and archaeological aspects to consider how and why human cultural practices and biological makeup change over time. By doing so, anthropologists reveal the many similarities different human groups share, despite our cultural and biological diversity. Anthropologists benefit human societies in a number of ways. Working both in the US and internationally, many anthropologists help to solve real-world problems through their work with local, state, and federal agencies and non-profit organizations, such as UNESCO, the World Health Organization, the World Bank, and the Centers for Disease Control.<br><br>Anthropology graduates are critical thinkers and effective communicators who are able to be productive members of working groups by generating relevant information and making informed decisions. Anthropological training concentrates on three broadly transferable skill areas understanding human diversity, building research skills for collecting and making sense of information, and communicating effectively. A degree in anthropology opens doors to a number of different career paths, particularly in the fields of advocacy, business, research, teaching, public service.
