Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Anthropology] From University of Minnesota - Twin Cities

Anthropology majors compare and contrast the biological, social, and cultural similarities and differences of humans and their societies across the globe and develop a sophisticated understanding of the biological unity of our species.

Students who major in the field are expected to take courses in the four sub-fields of anthropology. Students planning a professional career in anthropology general specialize in one of the sub-fields: biological anthropology (the evolutionary history of human and nonhuman primates), archaeology (the study of prehistoric and historic societies through their material culture), sociolcultural anthropology (the study of the behavior of recent people in setting that range from unindustrialized societies to modern urban centers), and linguistic anthropology (the comparative study of languages and communication).?
