Program Outline
Degree Overview:
Anthropology studies human diversity globally. Ethnographic fieldwork distinguishes anthropology, providing insight into one's world from a broader perspective. Contemporary anthropology explores human behavior's social and cultural conditions with a "locally global" approach. Studying anthropology fosters understanding diverse cultures and one's life from an anthropological viewpoint, navigating radically different contexts in one's culture and others. Anthropology emphasizes a comparative and comprehensive societal and cultural perspective and an insatiable curiosity about individuals' worldviews and responses to challenges within specific cultures. Anthropologists seek commonalities in social life despite apparent disparities. Extensive fieldwork is common, where anthropologists engage with individuals in their environments for cultural comprehension.
