Introduction

Mission:

The anthropology department provides a high quality education to enable students to understand and participate in a culturally diverse and changing world. Our goal is to meet the educational needs of our students in order to enable them to become competent and contributing members of an increasingly global society. We believe that anthropology is crucial in this endeavor, giving students the means to understand the variety of human experience and especially to develop a critical perspective on their own society.

Degrees Offered:

The Department offers B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in Anthropology.
