The Undergraduate Program in Anthropology offers 3 majors :

• B.A. major in Anthropology
• B.A. major in Cultural Anthropology
• B.S. major in Evolutionary Anthropology

Two minors are also available:

• Minor in Anthropology
• Minor in Cultural Anthropology

Majoring in Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, or Evolutionary Anthropology can prepare students for a wide variety of occupations and careers. Students with a strong anthropology background have found employment in non-governmental organizations; museums; cultural resource management firms; government agencies; health care organizations; local, national, and international businesses; and as translators, social workers, journalists, and teachers. In addition, an anthropology major is excellent preparation for students seeking advanced professional degrees in such areas as business or law or who plan to pursue graduate education in anthropology.

The Undergraduate Director, Professor Robert Blumenschine, can provide interested students with information and guidance in planning a major or minor, and discuss how anthropology can contribute to various goals.
