Anthropology Everywhere!
The goal of our department is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the living experiences of modern and past people. Our global field projects and joint program with the Field Museum of Chicago make us one of the most unique Anthropology programs in the country, offering opportunities to gain skills necessary to pursue careers within academic, museum and professional settings.
