Anthropology is the major of global understanding. It prepares students to understand their world by developing their ability to critically analyze social and cultural institutions, to attend to the impact of different historical experiences and to engage constructively with communities both far away and close to home. Anthropology prepares students for a wide range of professional careers, including law, medicine, foreign service, development, nonprofit work, social services and business, among others.

The Graduate Field of Anthropology encompasses the faculty of the Department of Anthropology along with anthropologists in other departments on campus. Graduate training is tailored to the interests and specific needs of each student in collaboration with their committee. The goal is to provide students with an immersion in the discipline’s intellectual traditions, an orientation to contemporary debates and the theoretical tools to bring new empirical observations to bear on the pressing problems in today's world.
I love that studying anthropology has made me even more curious about the world.
