Past & Present
In the undergraduate anthropology program, students learn about human cultural and biological variation, in the past and present. We are focused on understanding the structure of the social, environmental, political, and economic systems in which humans operate. Our department focuses on three areas within anthropology including archaeology, biological anthropology, and cultural anthropology.
- Anthropology major
- Three optional concentrations
- A minor

To declare a major, please schedule an appointment with Keri Canada by contacting the College of Liberal Arts Academic Support Center.

She is available to help students declare a major, gives registration codes, and assists majors with their undergraduate education plan.
