पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program is the study of human diversity on a cross-cultural basis, aimed at achieving both scientific and humanistic education goals. Anthropology is comprised of four sub-fields: sociocultural anthropology, biological anthropology, archaeology, and anthropological linguistics. The degrees are designed to provide the student with a solid general foundation in the discipline by emphasizing understanding of different cultures and peoples as well as different theories and methodologies. Although there is some opportunity for limited specialization in either archaeology or sociocultural anthropology and in Alaska studies, the department believes that such specialization should be deferred until graduate work.
