ANTHROPOLOGY CONCENTRATION
Anthropology is the comparative study of humankind. Most anthropologists agree that the
discipline is divided into four fields: cultural anthropology deals with the description and
analysis of culture; physical or biological anthropology deals with human evolution and variation;
linguistic anthropology studies the relationships between language and culture; and archaeology
examines the material remains of past cultures.
If you are interested in going to law school, pursuing graduate study, or careers in
international fields, business, government, public policy, education, or market research, the
Anthropology concentration provides an excellent foundation.
