Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Anthropology] From University of Maine

Anthropology provides a well-rounded, generalist education that provides students with the ability to critically evaluate theories, options and actions that affect humankind. UMaine anthropology students are involved directly in research in the lab, in the field, and through independent, faculty-mentored study opportunities. Students have participated in excavations in Croatia, Peru and Belize to analyze changes in ancient urban and agricultural landscapes; participated as research assistants in forensic taphonomy experiments; been involved in research of the Maine groundfish industry; and participated in the analysis of cultural perceptions of climate change. The department has five active research laboratories where students are involved in many aspects of research analysis.
