Anthropology
11 courses (BPhil
or BSGS)
Anthropology studies humankind from a broad comparative and historical perspective. Anthropologists attempt to describe specific cultural traditions, forms of social structures, languages and specific transitions in human evolution and cultural history. They compare cultures and societies to assess how humanity has developed differences and similarities. Anthropology serves as an excellent background for students who plan to pursue training in law, medicine, nursing, social work, education, conservation, international relations or commerce.
