Anthropology incorporates interdisciplinary studies of both past and contemporary socio-cultural and physical aspects of human material culture, values, beliefs, social and communicative systems into a distinctive holistic approach. Our goal is to train informed consumers of anthropological knowledge who can conduct and review research in the field and can apply basic perspectives of anthropology, its core concepts, and common methods of analysis to interpretation and/or solution of problems.
The university does not currently offer a graduate degree in Anthropology although graduate students may take courses in the department.
