B.A. in Anthropology | Bachelor's degree | Humanities & Culture | On Campus | 4 years | Northeastern Illinois University | USA
The B.A. in Anthropology provides a challenging curriculum in the sub-disciplines of:
Cultural Anthropology
Biological Anthropology
Archaeology
Students immerse themselves in field-based learning, data-oriented research, and a solid grounding in the theoretical constructs and ethics of the discipline. Students taking courses in Anthropology develop a multifaceted understanding of human diversity steeped in time, multicultural ethnographic comparisons and the science of our physical form. This enriching perspective is not only well-suited for subsequent graduate studies and professional careers in anthropology, but also for fostering the acceptance of others and negotiating the many facets of our modern global society.
