Anthropology faculty take a student-centered approach, providing dedicated advising, professional development, and career consultation. Students apply social science skills for a wide range of public, private, and non-profit organizations, and faculty encourage the development and implementation of projects that address real-world problems for partner organizations. Our faculty and students benefit from the Integrative Anthropology Laboratory, a facility that accommodates research projects in biological, archaeological, and cultural anthropology.
