Students who major in anthropology may choose between a Bachelor of Science degree or a Bachelor of Arts degree. In the Bachelor of Science degree program students may select a general concentration or concentrate in one of four distinct subfields: archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, or linguistic anthropology. Students also may choose to enroll in a Bachelor of Arts degree in anthropology, which is more general in nature.

Bachelor of Science Internships

Internships in the B.S. degree track emphasize the real life experience of anthropology. They allow students to apply anthropological coursework to real world issues, situations, and institutions. The internship, therefore, becomes a key component in the four B.S. degree concentrations and in the B.S. option without a concentration.

Field Experiences

The Anthropology Department offers field experiences in all sub-disciplines in anthropology (archaeology, biological, cultural, and linguistics.)  Students may choose to work in the U.S. (locally or nationally) or, internationally in the Dominican Republic, Ethiopic, Guatemala, Peru, and Western Europe.
