Anthropology is the study of all cultures across time and space. Through comparative studies, anthropologists determine how people of the world are similar and different. They explore issues such as health care, human rights, law, industry, development, global population and more. The Anthropology Program offers four ways to study cultural variation among humans: Cultural Anthropology, Biological Anthropology, Archaeology, and Environmental Change, Community Engagement, and Wellness.
