The Department of Anthropology offers a balanced and flexible program
of academic courses and research in cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology,
archaeology and biological anthropology.
Anthropology contributes to an understanding of the complex problems of
human behavior, biology, language, cultural and social organization, and
the relationship of humans to their environments. Research carried out
in the field, laborator, and library emphasizes past and present modes
of living and the origins and distribution of peoples and cultures throughout
the world. Although special attention is given to the circumpolar North,
faculty maintain active research programs elsewhere, such as Africa and
North America.
