DEPARTMENTAL PROGRAMS
Anthropology offers an extremely broad yet integrated approach to the study of man and his
culture. Various aspects of the field view man as a biological product of the evolutionary process,
as a participant in diverse ecological systems, as a bearer of alternative cultural traditions, and
as a creator of complex symbolic worlds. Because of its wide coverage and holistic approach,
anthropology provides an unusually versatile liberal arts education which can serve as a solid
foundation for many fields and vocations. individuals with anthropological training at the
baccalaureate level are prepared not only for graduate study but for a large number of
employment possibilities including state and local social services, public health, archaeological
research, and personnel administration.
The department offers a major in anthropology leading to the bachelor of arts degree, and a
minor in anthropology for students who wish to major in other disciplines. In conjunction with
other departments it offers courses leading toward a major in Laiin American Studies and a minor
in Asian Studies (See Special Programs-Asian Studies, Latin American Studies).
Students can gain archaeological fieldwork experience in connection with the department's
program in Cultural Resource Management, as well as through its regular course offerings.
A special 5-unit course, Anth 15, is part of a 17-unit program which integrates Anthropology
with Biology and Geology through extended field trips in the Western USA and Mexico.
The Anthropology Program includes six areas: 1: Introductory Anthropology; II: Method and
Theory; Ill: Ethnology; IV: Archaeology; V: Cross-Cultural Comparisons; VI: Physical
Anthropology.
