Anthropology at Δ’Ή½ΚΣΖ΅
Part of the Social Sciences Department, the Anthropology Program at Δ’Ή½ΚΣΖ΅ offers a student-centered approach to exploring what it means to be humanβpast, present, and future.
Youβll dive into the study of human origins, culture, language, and behavior through classroom learning and opportunities for fieldwork. From examining archaeological records and fossil evidence to exploring global customs, values, and belief systems, anthropology gives you the tools to understand both ancient civilizations and contemporary social issues like inequality, violence, and environmental change.
Our program introduces you to the five major subfields of anthropology: sociocultural, linguistic, biological (or physical), and archaeologyβpreparing you for transfer or future careers in education, research, social services, museums, and beyond.
What is Anthropology
Anthropology is the holistic study of humanityβhow we evolved, how we live, and how we understand the world. It blends science and the humanities to explore everything from ancient tools and languages to modern social challenges, helping us see both the diversity and common threads of the human experience.
