Dig Deep
Study the ways humans have lived and evolved through ethnographic fieldwork, archaeological excavation, biological lab work, and visual and material cultural analysis. You’ll collaborate closely with faculty inside the classroom and out in the field to deepen our understanding of human variation and behavior over time.

The Backbone of a Great Career
The fields of anthropology and archaeology are always changing. Here are just some of the ways you can put your studies into practice.
Cultural anthropologists work to understand how culture, power, and history are used for different purposes.
Archaeologists excavate sites to recover cultural materials and artifacts to understand the past and how it relates to the present-day.
Biological anthropologists study human biological evolution, variation in growth and development, and adaptation to past and present environments.
