Bacharelado em Antropologia

Anthropology is the study of the human condition, past and present. Our anthropology program concentrates on three sub-areas within anthropology: cultural anthropology, which studies the ways of life of different groups and communities in the present; archaeology, which studies the human past through its physical remains; and biological anthropology, which focuses on the adaptations, variability, and evolution of humans and their living and fossil relatives.

By exploring the complexities of culture, social action, and biology, our students investigate and appreciate human diversity. Our courses introduce students to fieldwork and the importance of theoretical concepts in anthropological research while, at the same time, developing their skills in critical thinking. In support of a liberal arts education, we encourage students to develop interdisciplinary interests by bridging anthropology with the natural and social sciences, humanities, and arts, and to explore those interests through coursework, individual research projects, internships, and study abroad experiences. Through studying the breadth and scope of the human experience, students become responsible, informed global citizens.
