Bachelor [Anthropology] From Pomona College

Across time and around the world, anthropologists explore the range of human life, cultures and social structures. The work is typically field-based using ethnographic methods.

Our major and minor are based on cross-cultural, bio-cultural and holistic approaches?including sociocultural, linguistic and applied?to the scientific understanding of human behavior and society.

Electives include Medical Anthropology; Globalization; Social Life of Media; and the Anthropology of Sports.

Majors are encouraged to experience another culture by studying abroad or participating in a summer field program. Your senior exercise may be based on library research or original fieldwork conducted during study abroad. A public policy major in anthropology is also available.
