The Department:

The Department of Anthropology is in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

The science of anthropology is the study of human beings, their origins, thought, and behavior. The Department of Anthropology offers graduate and undergraduate course work in four subdisciplines: archaeology, physical anthropology, cultural anthropology and linguistic anthropology; as well as specialized training for field research. Special internships and independent studies in museology are available through the Arizona State Museum. The Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology is a center for applied anthropological research in the American Southwest and similar multicultural and ecological settings elsewhere in the world. The department cooperates with the Arizona Health Sciences Center in offering a program in medical anthropology.

Anthropology BA:

All undergraduate majors must take a common set of courses which provide the student with basic training in all four subdisciplines. The student may then select one of three programs: (1) a general program requiring upper-division work in each of the four subdisciplines; (2) a special program that requires upper-division course work in each of two subdisciplines; or (3) a topical or a real specialization approved by the undergraduate advisor.

Anthropology and Linguistics PHD:

This program is jointly administered with Linguistics.
