Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Anthropology] From University of Arizona

Anthropology is the study of modern humans, their ancestors, and closest relatives (non-human primates). Biological anthropologists study the evolution of humans and other primates and modern human populations. Archaeologists trace the evolution of culture over the past three million years, analyzing ancient environments and modern material culture. Linguistic anthropologists are interested in the relationships between language, culture, society, and the individual. Cultural anthropologists look at relations between culture and the environment, family and society, gender, urbanization, and politics and history. After completing introductory course work, students may continue to study all four areas or focus on a sub-discipline.

The knowledge of culture, human behavior, history, politics, and language gained from a major in Anthropology forms a solid and versatile career foundation. Graduates in Anthropology might work in research, education, outreach, international relations, social services, human resources, or planning and development. This major is also excellent preparation for law and medical school and graduate studies in anthropology, sociology, and public health.Anthropology, like many majors, teaches content and skills that can be applied to a wide variety of career fields. This major does not restrict you to a specific field.
